Check

A sentence that can be quoted safely

A sentence that can be quoted safely is check C5 in the fifteen-point audit. At least one sentence states the answer plainly enough that quoting it needs no context.

What counts as evidence

The candidate sentence we selected, and whether it contains a claim, a qualifier and no dangling pronouns.

How to fix it

Write one self-contained sentence per section: subject, claim, scope. Avoid 'as mentioned above' and bare 'this'.

Where this sits

C is the group: accessibility, comprehension, or extractability. The groups run in order — a crawler that cannot reach the page never reaches the reading checks — so fix the earliest failing group first. The full definition of all fifteen items is in the standard.
