The Odyssey and Epic Poetry: An Introduction, Part 1 — Cumulative exam

Question 15 • Online ELA 9 - A

Which excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey is cited properly in MLA style?

Answer
A
“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback /or, where the ground required, on foot.” Homer (55-56)
B
“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback /or, where the ground required, on foot” (Homer 55-56).
C
“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback /or, where the ground required, on foot” Homer, 55-56.
D
“This was an army, trained to fight on horseback /or, where the ground required, on foot.” (Homer) 55-56

Explanation

In MLA style, the parenthetical citation goes after the closing quotation mark and before the sentence’s final period. The author’s name and page or line numbers are written together without a comma, as in “(Homer 55-56).” Choice B places the citation and punctuation correctly.
