Ccording to the MLA Handbook, when you cite a source in the text of your paper, the citation should interrupt the text as little as possible; you want to lead the reader to the correct long-form citation in your Works Cited page with a minimum of fuss (116). There are two ways to do this - with a signal phrase, meaning the in-text citation will have only the page number(s), or with a parenthetical citation, meaning the in-text citation will include the author's last name (or the title, for an authorless work) and the page number(s) (Howard 289).

Signal Phrase
Format: Signal phrase, "quote" or paraphrase (page number).

The first sentence of the first paragraph on this page contains a signal phrase - "According to the MLA Handbook..." - with a page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence. The signal phrase lets your reader know that you are paraphrasing or quoting an idea from someone else's work. If your paper deals with a particular work of literature, or if you are relying heavily on the work of one or more sources, a signal phrase introducing the source is recommended.

Note that if you are quoting a source, in-text citation always comes after the closing quotation mark.

Examples of a Signal Phrase

In her work Pride and Prejudice, Austen makes the famous observation that "it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" (3).

Duhigg argues that we can change our habits, but because they are deeply ingrained into the brain, it can be a struggle to do so (20).

Option A, The Bonus Army was attacked with tear gas.

Explanation:

The US Army, commanded by MacArthur, Patton, and Eisenhower, targeted WWI soldiers on July 28, 1932, with tanks, bayonets, and tear gas. The service members of World War I belonged to a bonus army that came to Washington. To order the wartime rewards offered.

The Army was then instructed by president Herbert Hoover to the body block of marchers. General Douglas MacArthur, Press secretary of the Army, controlled the infantry and troops of six tanks With their spouses and children, the Bonus Army marchers were forced out and their tents and possessions were burned.

Although it was named ' the grave ' bonus, ' the service members were satisfied with the requirement that the bonus could be paid immediately on the soldier's death. Economic relaxation wanted the upfront payment of the bonus.
