Question 4 • English Language Arts 10

Which citation is correctly punctuated in MLA style?

Answer

"Mario Campos Gutiérrez, supervisor of Grupo Beta Sur, estimates that half eventually get here—after repeated attempts" (Nazario 4).

"Mario Campos Gutiérrez, supervisor of Grupo Beta Sur, estimates that half eventually get here—after repeated attempts (Nazario 4)."

"Mario Campos Gutiérrez, supervisor of Grupo Beta Sur, estimates that half eventually get here—after repeated attempts." (Nazario 4)

"Mario Campos Gutiérrez, supervisor of Grupo Beta Sur, estimates that half eventually get here—after repeated attempts. (Nazario 4)"

Explanation

In MLA style, a parenthetical citation goes after the closing quotation mark but before the sentence’s final period. Choice A places “(Nazario 4)” in that position, with the period after the citation. The other choices put the citation inside the quotation marks or place the period before the citation.
