<span>The beginning of an MLA citation is "lastname, firstname". B and C don't follow this, so you can eliminate them. Then you notice at the end of the citation, the pages cited has to be preceded by a "pp". Choice A doesn't follow that, so we can also eliminate that choice. The remaining choice "D" is a correct citation.

Which character trait of Sherlock Holmes does this excerpt from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrate?
A. His ambitious nature
B. His perfectionist nature
C. His tendency to be cautious
D. His powers of observation
The correct answer is D. His power of observation
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the narrator describes how the detective Sherlock Holmes noticed the stains of mud in the jacket of the woman, and based on this evidence Holmes knew this woman had traveled on a train recently. This discovery requires specialized observation and analysis. Indeed, this shows Sherlock Holmes' power of observation because he was keen enough to notice the smears and then reach a valid conclusion as the woman admits Sherlock's conclusion is true "and came in by the first train to Waterloo."
It mean mostly that they would fight for a nail or a tooth not much different so they would mind who it was.
