Question

Use the passage to answer the question.
Dale wants to start a book review podcast. In the script for
his first episode, he includes a two-page-long excerpt from
the climax of a recently released book. He is careful to
provide attribution directly before presenting the excerpt,
and he includes a citation in the episode’s description.
When he reads the script for a group of his friends, they
express concern that his script does not adhere to fair use
principles.
What does this creator need to change about the podcast script
in order for it to adhere to fair use principles?
(1 point)
place his citation at the end of the podcast itself
paraphrase the text instead of quoting it directly
shorten the directly quoted material to a few sentences
get explicit permission from the author of the quoted book

Answer 1

shorten the directly quoted material to a few sentences

Explanation: fair use depends on amount and substantiality (and using the climax is the "heart" of the work). Attribution/citation alone doesn't make a long, central excerpt fair use — limiting the quoted portion (or otherwise transforming/paraphrasing) reduces the risk.
