Answer 1

The correctly formatted in-text citations depend on the citation style you are using (such as APA, MLA, or Chicago). However, if we're considering a common style like APA or MLA, the following statements can be evaluated:

1. "In the article, John Smith writes, 'I hope my students cite their sources correctly' (24)." - This is incorrect if using MLA style, where the author's last name should be included in the citation; it should be (Smith 24).

2. "In his article, John Smith explains the importance of students citing their sources correctly (24)." - This is incorrect for the same reason as above.

3. "All of these are correct." - This statement is incorrect because the previous examples contain errors.

4. "In the text, it states, 'I hope my students cite their sources correctly' (Smith 24)." - This is correctly formatted in format.

So, if we have to choose the most correct one from the options given, the last one is indeed the right choice. If you have to choose one specific option that states they are all correct, that is incorrect because they are not all correct.

Therefore, the best answer is: "In the text, it states, 'I hope my students cite their sources correctly' (Smith 24)."
