Solution

The reason it is important to avoid including too many quotations over four lines is because "Quotations over four lines break-up the flow of the paper, making it more difficult to read." When you use long quotations, it can disrupt the coherence of your paper. The reader may lose track of your original thoughts and arguments. Therefore, it's better to paraphrase or summarize the information, and use direct quotations sparingly.
