Question
Read the excerpt from an online article.
If you give your feline companion a piece of your most beloved candy bar, they will turn up their nose at the offer. Why? Animals of the Felis genus, or those in the cat family, have a surprising genetic quality: they cannot taste sugary foods. Scientists credit this discrepancy with the fact that cats lack crucial amino acids, or organic compounds, in the gene Tas1r2. "It’s really astounding that the entire cat species suffers from this same ailment. Or perhaps, as humans, we would see this as our ‘ailment,’ when household cats are quite content, ecstatic even, to eat your fanciest canned tuna.”
Does the excerpt follow MLA citation rules?
Yes, because it organizes the information logically.
No, because it does not define unfamiliar phrases.
Yes, because it includes evidence to support its claim.
No, because it fails to identify the source of the quotation.
