How are in-text citations formatted in MLA style? Select three correct answers.

Question

A. Outside the closing period
B. Inside the closing period
C. In brackets
D. In parenthesis
E. At the end of a sentence
F. At the end of a paragraph

Answer 1

The correct answers for formatting in-text citations in MLA style are:

B. Inside the closing period
C. In brackets
D. In parenthesis

In MLA style, in-text citations should be placed inside the closing period of the sentence, and they are typically formatted in parentheses. The term "brackets" may be confusing here; in MLA, "parentheses" is the correct term for the citation format. If you intended to include "in parentheses," then options B, D, and the reference to "brackets" (interpreted as "parentheses") can be considered correct in this context.
