Question 1 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY

Which citation format is correct if a student is quoting from an article entitled “Making Healthier Food Choices” that appears on a website and is written by author Lindsay Metcalf?

Answer
A
(Metcalf)
B
(Metcalf, website)
C
(“Making Healthier Food Choices”)
D
(Metcalf, “Making Healtheir Food Choices”)

Explanation

For an MLA-style in-text citation, use the author’s last name when the source has an author and no page number is available. The correct citation is “(Metcalf).” The website name is not added, and the article title is used only when no author is identified. Although choice D also names the author and title, that is not the standard in-text format here.
