Answer:
b) Unacceptable
Explanation:
The given excerpt shows the text from the original source, enabling us to identify whether the student properly followed the formatting rules of Modern Language Association (MLA) style. The <u>in-text citation format</u> of the MLA style is enclosing the author's last name and the page number in open- and closed-parenthesis at the end of the text.
In the given prompt, the name of the author and the page number were provided. Also, the student copied from the text verbatim. Thus, he or she should have written the direct quotation as:
"There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (Eagleton 11).
Alternatively, the student could have introduced the name of the author before the direct quote:
Terry Eagleton presents an interesting view on the significance of value in literature, as he states, "There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (11).
Therefore, the student <u>unacceptably</u> cites the passage in MLA style.
