In MLA when you need to create an in-text citation of a paraphrase, it is necessary to indicate the source by including the author and the page number. Since you did not include the author of the article or any passage to cite specifically, here are some formats you could follow:
According to <em>name of the author</em>, "passage in quotations" (<em>56</em>).
"Passage in quotations" (<em>name of author 56</em>).
Essentially, you need to include the passage in quotations and can add whatever else you need to to your sentence. In the first format, you include the author's name within the sentence, so you don't need to include it at the end. The rest of the information, like the title of the article or the date it was published does not need to be included in an in-text citation, but must be included in your reference list.
Answer:
Europeans carried a hidden enemy to the Indians: new diseases. Native peoples of America had no immunity to the diseases that European explorers and colonists brought with them. Diseases such as smallpox, influenza, measles, and even chicken pox proved deadly to American Indians.
Is there a passage for this?
Answer: Well, Humanity's early fire-starting tools may have been dangerous because in the text is says, "It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions." This is dangerous because it would spew fire in all directions and if you think about it, the fire would hit something and then that thing would catch on fire. Lets say you were using the match inside your house. When you strike the match, a spark flies onto the wood floor and your house goes up in flames and you are stuck inside the house with no exit or escape. This may or may not happen, but because of the fire not being contained, there was a chance that you would be harmed.
hope this helped
