The Odyssey: Writing a Character Analysis, Part 3

Question 6 • AZ-English Language Arts 9 A-CR

Which in-text citation is formatted correctly in MLA style?

Answer
A
The Cyclops insists that they “care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus (Homer 186).”
B
The Cyclops insists that they “care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus” (Homer 186).
C
The Cyclops insists “that they care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus,” Homer (186).
D
The Cyclops insists “that they care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus” (Homer 186).”

Explanation

In MLA style, the parenthetical citation goes after the closing quotation mark and before the sentence’s final period. Choice B places “(Homer 186)” in that position. Choice A puts the citation inside the quotation, while D places the period before the citation and adds an extra closing quotation mark.
