Question 5 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S2 [E4260OX]

Which citation format is correct if a student is quoting from an article entitled “Making Healthier Food Choices” that appears on a website and is written by author Lindsay Metcalf?

Answer
A
(Metcalf)
B
(Metcalf, website)
C
(“Making Healthier Food Choices”)
D
(Metcalf, “Making Healtheir Food Choices”)

Explanation

For an MLA-style in-text citation, use the author’s last name when the article has a named author. Since Lindsay Metcalf wrote the article, the correct citation is “(Metcalf).” You generally do not include the website name or the article title in the in-text citation when the author is identified.
