The Odyssey: Writing a Character Analysis, Part 3

Question 7 • Online ELA 9 - A

Which excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey is cited properly in MLA style?

Answer
A
“Last of them all my ram, the leader, came, / weighted by wool and me with my meditations” (Homer 376-377).
B
“Last of them all my ram, the leader, came, / weighted by wool and me with my meditations.” Homer (376-377)
C
“Last of them all my ram, the leader, came, / weighted by wool and me with my meditations” Homer, (376-377).
D
“Last of them all my ram, the leader, came, / weighted by wool and me with my meditations” (Homer 376-377)

Explanation

In MLA style, the parenthetical citation goes after the closing quotation mark and before the sentence’s final period. It includes the author’s name and the line numbers, with no comma between them: (Homer 376-377). Choice A places the punctuation correctly; choice D leaves out the final period.
