The author uses all of the following as evidence to support his argument about the impact of smallpox on Native American populat
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

the English settlers tried to help the Native Americans who were afflicted with smallpox

Explanation:

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, but we can consider that the option selected above is the correct answer, because it presents unreal information, which could not be used as evidence of an argument.

Evidence is information that seeks to prove an argument, showing justifications and real facts, to prove that the argument presented is correct. There are no sources to prove that English settlers helped Native Americans affected by smallpox, so this information could not be used as evidence.

For a direct quotation when do you not use the authors name in the citation
Anvisha [2.4K]
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).
