10. which of the following in - text citations is the correct format for a source with 3 or more authors? (smith, jones, sloan, brown, lee, simmons, & mort, 2016) (smith et al., 2016) (smith, jones, & sloan, 2016)
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In academic writing, when citing a source with 3 or more authors, the abbreviation "et al." (which means "and others" in Latin) is used. This is a standard practice in citation styles like APA. The first option lists all authors which is not the correct format for 3 or more authors. The third option is for 3 authors but the correct format for 3 or more (including 3) is to use "et al." after the first author's name.
