select the correct answer. which of the following is a correct method of documenting a source using mla format? a. hamilton first introduced this technology back in the seventies (hamilton, 83) b. this technology was first introduced back in the seventies (hamilton). c. this technology was first introduced back in the seventies (hamilton 83). d. hamilton first introduced this technology back in the seventies (hamilton 83).
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In MLA format, in - text citations usually include the author's last name and the page number (if applicable). When the author's name is already mentioned in the sentence, only the page number is needed in parentheses. Option A has the author's name in the sentence and then repeats the author's name in the citation which is redundant. Option B only has the author's name without a page number when it might be needed. Option C has the correct format where the author's name is not repeated in the citation and the page number is correctly placed after the author's name in parentheses. Option D is the same as Option A with redundant author - name repetition.
Answer:
C. This technology was first introduced back in the seventies (Hamilton 83).
