Which of the following in-text citations is written correctly for a book citation? The author of the source is Adam Starks, the
title of the book is Animals of the Australian Outback, and the paper quotes a passage from page 97. (Starks 97). (Starks p. 97). (Starks, Animals, 97). (Animals, p. 97).
For in-text MLA citations, the author's last name and page number are required for a book citation. The author's name is first inside the parenthesis then it's followed by the page number. Do not include a "p" to show that it's a page number. It is considered known that the number is a page number so including the p would be a redundancy. If the author's name is said as the speaker of the quote, the name does not need to be inside the parenthesis, only the page number.
