Explanation: To cite an essay using MLA format, include the name of the author and the page number of the source you're citing in the in-text citation. A is incorrect because it includes the author’s last name along with a comma. B is incorrect because when citing, you don’t include the title. C is also incorrect because you’re including the title. The correct and proper citation is D where you only in idle the author’s first name and page number with NO commas.
