How do I cite a direct quotation of 40 words or more?
As a block quotation: start it on a new line, indent the whole block half an inch, drop the quotation marks, and put the citation after the final punctuation rather than before it. That last detail is reversed from short quotations and is a very common error.
This comes up on APA 7 In-Text Citations, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
