Answer

Brief Explanations:

In MLA (Modern Language Association) style, which is commonly used for essays in the Arts (specifically in Literature sub - field when citing literary works), the parenthetical citation should include the author's last name and the page number.

  • Option A: It has the author's last name (Henry) and the page number (1), which is in the correct MLA format.
  • Option B: Including the title of the work ("The Gift of the Magi") in the parenthetical citation is incorrect. The title is not part of the basic parenthetical citation in MLA when the author is named.
  • Option C: The order of author and page number (1 Henry) is wrong. It should be (Henry 1).
  • Option D: Using only the title and page number without the author's name is incorrect when the author is known.
  • Option E: The order of title and author (("The Gift of the Magi" Henry)) is wrong. It should be (Henry 1) if following MLA for a named author and page number.

Answer:

A. "Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are." (Henry 1)
