Question 3 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S2 [E4260OX]

Which citation format is correct if a student is quoting from an article entitled “We the People” that is published on a website and has no author information?

Answer
A
(Author Unknown)
B
(“We the People,” No page #)
C
(“We the People”)
D
(Anonymous, “We”)

Explanation

For an MLA-style in-text citation when a web article has no author and no page numbers, use a shortened version of the article title in quotation marks. The title “We the People” is short enough to cite in full, so the correct citation is (“We the People”). “Author Unknown” and “Anonymous” are not used as substitutes for missing author information, and “No page #” should not be added.
