The correct answer B In The Secret Garden, Hodgson describes Mary Lennox as having "a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression" (1).
Explanation:
Letter A is incorrect because the title is mentioned in the parenthesis but this quotation system does not require it.
Letter C is also incorrect because there is no page mentioned.
On the other hand, D is incorrect because the quote lacks both author and page number in the parenthesis.
Letter B is correct because the name of the author is at the beginning of the passage and the page number in the parenthesis, so all the required information is there.
