Answer

C
Odysseus and his men, “slept again above the wash of ripples.” Homer (68)
D
Odysseus and his men “slept again above the wash of ripples.(Homer 68).”

Explanation

In MLA style, an in-text citation typically places the author’s name and page number in parentheses after the quoted words, with no comma between them. The sentence’s period comes after the closing parenthesis. Choice B correctly formats “(Homer 68)” and places the period after the citation.
