Question

king was assassinated on april 4, 1968, just weeks before the poor people’s campaign was scheduled to begin. leadership of the campaign became fractured,¹ and, though the campaign took place as scheduled, it resulted in no major effects and ultimately was deemed a failure. 1. see viorst: 437–39 for an analysis of how the campaign devolved after king’s assassination what should be corrected in the footnote? choose three correct answers. three more line spaces should be added before the footnote. the number 1 should be written in a superscript. there should be no punctuation after the author’s name. the page numbers should be written “437/39.” there needs to be a period at the end

Explanation:

1. The number 1 should be written in a superscript: In academic footnotes, the footnote reference number in the text (like the "1" after "fractured") should be in superscript, and the footnote itself starts with the number in regular font, but the in - text reference needs superscript formatting.
2. There should be no punctuation after the author’s name: In footnote citation style (e.g., Chicago style), after the author's name, we don't use a colon. So "Viorst: 437 - 39" should be "Viorst 437 - 39".
3. There needs to be a period at the end: The footnote sentence "See Viorst 437 - 39 for an analysis of how the campaign devolved after King's assassination" is a complete sentence and should end with a period.

Answer:

• The number 1 should be written in a superscript.
• There should be no punctuation after the author’s name.
• There needs to be a period at the end.
