Answer:
The sentence that correctly uses an MLA in-text citation is the following one: According to fish biologist Sarah Myers, a single carp can spawn over a million babies (145). (D)
Explanation:
In MLA style, you refer to the works of others by using what is known as parenthetical citation. That is, you should include all the relevant information regarding the source in parentheses. What is more, MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation: The author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and then a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The name of the author might appear either in the sentence or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.

Considering you haven't given the actual excerpts, some help would be that direct characterization is as simple as saying "The man is wearing a broad-brimmed hat". It is literally "direct", straight to the point. Hope this helps.

Answer: A) After the ceasefire was declared, the soldiers were allowed to go home.
Explanation:
An independent clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought. It can stand on its own and still make sense. The independent clause in this example is "the soldiers were allowed to go home."
A subordinate clause, on the other hand, is a clause that does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone, because it has no meaning if not joined to an independent clause. "After the ceasefire was declared" is a subordinate clause.
All the other options contain two independent clauses - in option B, they are connected with a semicolon; in option C, with a conjunction "so"; in option D, with a comma and a conjunction "and."
