Answer 1

Answer:

The ACTUAL correct answer is:

A. The character of Lavinia from Hodgson's A Little Princess is "inordinately jealous of Sara" because she is used to being the leader in the school (Hodgson 32)

Explanation:

If the person who had answered before me had listened to the teacher or had taken notes correctly, the answer choice for E. would NOT be the correct answer, thank you very much.

When you cite in-text citations for a book, you put a "QUOTE FROM THE BOOK" then the authors last name and the page number(s) written inside (parenthesis).

Example:

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1: The Lightning Thief

(Awesome book BTW)

“My name is Percy Jackson.

I’m twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York.

Am I a troubled kid?

Yeah. You could say that.” (Riordan 1)

HOPE THAT HELPED :))))

Answer 2

The character of Lavinia from Hodgson's A Little Princess is "inordinately jealous of Sara" because she is used to being the leader in the school (Hodgson, A Little Princess).

Answer: Option E.

Explanation:

In text citation is the reference that has been made in the text. This reference that has been made in the text also includes the source in proper words and the name of the source from which this has been taken.

Since this in text citation is very clearly telling the readers that it has been picked up from the story A little Princess which has been written by Hodgson, it proves to be the best in text citation compared to the other options that have been given here.
