Question

Manus has the following information about a quotation in his essay: the author, the chapter title, the book title, the publisher, the date of publication, and the page number.

Which information should he include in the MLA in-text citation? Select two options.

the author
the chapter title
the book title
the publisher
the date of publication
the page number

Answer 1

- the author
- the page number

In MLA parenthetical citations you generally include the author's last name and the page number (e.g., (Smith 45)). If you name the author in the sentence, include only the page number in parentheses.
