Question 6 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY

Which excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey is cited properly in MLA style?

Answer

“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback / or, where the ground required, on foot” Homer, 55-56.

“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback / or, where the ground required, on foot.” (Homer) 55-56

“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback / or, where the ground required, on foot.” Homer (55-56)

“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback / or, where the ground required, on foot” (Homer 55-56).

Explanation

In MLA style, the parenthetical citation goes after the closing quotation mark and before the final period. It includes the author’s last name and the page numbers, with no comma between them: (Homer 55-56). Choice A places the citation and punctuation correctly; the other choices put the period or author and page numbers in the wrong place.
