Which sentence uses an in-text citation correctly, according to MLA standards? A. According to Dr. Lisa Whey (271), "moderation

Serhud [2]

D. According to Dr. Lisa Whey, "moderation is the key to a successful diet" (271).

When using an in-text citation according to MLA standards, you need to include identifying information. If it is a written publication, the author and page number of the quotation are required, if available. In D, the author's name is stated as part of the quote's introduction. When the author is stated as part of the set up, it does not need to be repeated as part of the parenthetical citation. In order to include the page number, it needs to be in parentheses after the quote but BEFORE the period. This way the number is still attached to the quotation rather than floating between sentences.
