In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, co

vering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood
are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham. Here haunted of yore the fabulous Dragon of Wantley; here were fought many of the most
desperate battles during the Civil Wars of the Roses; and here also flourished in ancient times those bands of gallant outlaws, whose deeds have been rendered so popular in English song. Such being our chief scene, the date of our story refers to a period towards the end of the
reign of Richard I, when his return from his long captivity had become an event rather wished than hoped for by his despairing subjects, who were in the meantime subjected to every species of subordinate oppression. The nobles, whose power had become exorbitant during the reign of Stephen, and whom the prudence of Henry the Second had scarce reduced to some degree of subjection to the crown, had now resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent; despising the feeble interference of the English Council of State, fortifying their castles,
increasing the number of their dependants, reducing all around them to a state of vassalage, and striving by every means in their power, to place themselves each at the head of such forces as might enable him to make a figure in the national convulsions which appeared to be impending.

You should not use the authors' last names in the citation if the authors' names appear in your quote's signal phrase.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

True or False -  You should not use the authors’ last names in the citation if the authors’ names appear in the text.

Answer: True

Explanation below:

Explanation:

When it comes to English Grammar, a signal phrase is a type of phrase sentence or clause that often introduces a quotation, paraphrase, or summary. This type of phrase contains a verb together with the name of the person that is being quoted.  

It alerts the reader that something taken from an entirely different source is about to be used.  

Below is an example:

Daniel testified that he was not in the house when his neighbor’s dog died (13).

The author’s name is included and the page number in parenthesis.

So when the author’s name does not appear in the text, you should not use the author’s last names in the citation.
