The correct answer is: to leave out unnecessary information.
Authors use an ellipsis to indicate that certain words or phrases have been removed from a quote, typically to condense it or remove parts that are unrelated to the point being made. This helps to maintain the integrity of the original quote while making it more concise and focused on the desired message.
