How do I duplicate just one clip segment in Final Cut Pro?

I used the blade tool to cut my clip into segments. I want to duplicate one of the segments. When I select the segment and press command D, the whole clip is duplicated, not just the segment I wanted duplicated. Is it possible to duplicate just a part of a clip? If so, how?

Thanks in advance. Everyone here has been awesome!

Select the segment you want to duplicate, hold down the option key and drag it to the location you want it placed.
