Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • In academic writing, when citing a quotation from an outside source (like a book), the proper format often includes the author/title (if it's a book - here Sports History is likely a book), the page number in parentheses at the end of the quoted material.
  • The first option has the wrong structure - "says" is not the correct verb for a formal citation in many academic styles. The second option lacks proper identification of the source (just says "a website"). The third option has the source in parentheses but it's too vague ("sports website") and no page number (if it were a book - assuming the context is book - like citation rules). The fourth option correctly attributes the quote to Sports History (assuming it's a book - the title is italicized which is common for book titles in citations), gives the year of invention (which can be part of the sentence context) and then has the page number (5) in parentheses at the end of the quoted part as per many citation styles (like MLA - where in - text citations for books often have author/title and page number).

Answer:

According to Sports History, volleyball was invented in 1895 as a "less difficult alternative to basketball for a physical education teacher's less athletic students" (5).
