For a parenthetical citation using the MLA citation standards for the book Annabelle Plante, Dancing Alone, p. 87, the proper citation would be the following:
(Plante 87)
An example: On the other hand, it can be argued that "QUOTE" (Plante 87)
The parenthetical citation or in-text citation in the MLA format follows the author-page standard; it requires both the author's last name and the page number.
Remember that if the sentence already contains the author's name, the in-text citation should contain only the page number. An example:
Annabelle Plante believes that "QUOTE" (87)
The correct answer is
Protagonist
The quote <span>"The boys came buzzing around like bees around a jam pot," was said by</span> Mrs. Van Daan.
Hope this helped xx
