Question 3 • English 12A - Master – 954378

Which quotation from Helen Keller’s Story of My Life has correct internal citation?

Answer

“I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself” (“Story” p. 22).

“I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself (22).”

“I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself” (Keller 22).

“I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself (Keller 22).”

Explanation

In an MLA-style parenthetical citation, include the author’s last name and page number, then place the sentence’s period after the closing parenthesis. Choice C correctly puts “Keller 22” after the quotation and the period after the citation. Choice D incorrectly places the citation inside the quotation marks.
