I think this might help you figure out the theme, hope this helps
The properly formatted example is the last one:
Romans were very particular in their dining habits. They reclined on "special couches" (Phin 429).
For an in-text citation in Modern Language Association (MLA) style, you give a parenthetical reference to your source by an author name and page number. The full information about that author and source will be included in your bibliography.
So in the examples shown, the third example is incorrect because it only lists a page number, not the author name.
The second example shown is incorrect because it splits apart the reference to the author (Phin) from the reference to the page number (429).
The first example is close to correct, but is punctuated incorrectly. The in-text citation in MLA style is considered part of the sentence, so the period goes at the very end of the whole sentence, which means after the reference (Phin 429).
Thus the fourth example shown is the only one that is fully correct in its format.
Hi. You didn't have the answer options, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. Also, you have not informed whether "Vacations" is an article, a novel, a poem or a short story, which makes it even more difficult for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
To answer this question, you will need to read "Vacations" and identify the ideas that this text presents, that is, you need to identify what information, concepts, opinions and arguments the text presents. You must associate these ideas with today's society by analyzing how these ideas organize themselves in the modern society in which we live.
After you've made this association, you should notice which answer option matches the association you've made the most.
It would show the other side of the argument in order to disprove or show that it is not true. It could also potentially give the editorial and the author credibility that they knew what they were talking about.
I hope this helped! Good luck! :)
