Question

What information about a source's author is used in text referencing?

A.
The first name and surname of the author



B.
Only the first name of the author

C.
Only the surname of the author



D.
Initials and surname of the author

Answer 1

In text referencing, the correct information about a source's author that is typically used is:

**C. Only the surname of the author**

In most citation styles (like APA, MLA, and Chicago), the in-text citation generally includes just the author's surname and, in some cases, the year of publication or page number if applicable.
