"Vanishing" has the connotation of happening almost magically-disappearing while people are looking. It also shows that something is disappearing or ending very quickly. Something 'finishing' or 'ending' feels like it was supposed to happen, that it's nothing out of the ordinary. Vanishing has a much more extraordinary quality. 

This supports his main idea because he is trying to prove that terrible things (like the Holocaust) happen right in front of people's eyes and they don't do anything to stop it if they are being indifferent. This ties into the act of something vanishing because it happens in magic when people are looking right at the magician or the object that disappears.

Which in-text citation is correctly formatted in MLA style? (Smith 179) (Smith 2015) (Smith, 2015) (Smith, p. 179)
katrin [286]

The correct answer is "(Smith 179)".

The MLA in-text citation format comprises the author's last name and the page number of the author's work being referred to. These elements MUST NOT be separated by a comma or any other punctuation mark.

The option "(Smith 2015)" could be considered correct provided the author's work is 2015 pages long or more. It is most likely this number indicates the publication year of the author's work, rather than the page number. Therefore, this option is discarded.
