Writing a Narrative about Overcoming a Challenge — Unit test

Question 12 • EN091 Freshman English A

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

Answer

A

Homer writes that the men’s oars “sent the white foam scuddling by” (38).

B

Homer writes “that the men’s oars sent the white foam scuddling by” (38)

C

Homer writes “that the men’s oars sent the white foam scuddling by,” (38).

D

Homer writes that the men’s oars “sent the white foam scuddling by.” (38)

Explanation

In MLA style, a parenthetical citation goes after the quoted words, and the sentence’s period goes after the citation. Choice A correctly places “(38)” after the quotation and the period after the citation. Choice D puts the period inside the quotation, while B is missing the final period.
