APA format: When quoting a sentence with multiple errors, do you use [sic] after each error or just once at the end of the sentence?

Which is the correct usage of [sic] when writing a research paper in APA format?

What it should be: You’re the reason why I am here today.

When using [sic] to quote exactly as written and complete with errors:

1. ‘Your [sic] the raisin [sic] why I is [sic] here today.’

2. ‘Your the raisin why I is here today [sic].’

3. ‘Your the raisin why I is here today. [sic]’

4. ‘Your the raisin why I is here today’ [sic].

5. None of the above. Please elaborate and let me know what the correct way would be.

Thanks in advance!

[Sic] is to be placed after each error in the direct quotation. If there are too many errors and using [sic] will make the quote hard to read, try paraphrasing instead.

I’ve used [sic] before but I’ve never had to quote a sentence with multiple errors so I’m not sure.

I don't know detailed APA, and would do what makes sense, and us easy fir the reader to understand.

I would introduce the quote as contsining some grammatical errors, and then quite ut exactly as written, errors included.

by the way, I've always used [sic] as "Spelled InCorrectly", not for grammar errors.

Sic is Sic Erat Scriptum which is thus was it written - meaning it’s copied exactly with grammatical and spelling errors as well. How would why introduce those errors?

What @musicbrain5 said is right. Not sure you'd want to quote something with that many errors and I'd question the publication/manual/book/wherever it came from with that many errors.
