Answer 1

Answer:

d) The Waffle House restaurant chain serves as neutral territory where fans of opposing teams can bond over a shared love of personalized hash browns (Wilson, 2017).

Explanation:

When a summary is involved, the APA style for citation always follows the format where only the author's last name and the year of publication of the source are included in the in-text citation. This explains why (Wilson, 2017) the proper APA in-text citation format is. The only time the page number after the year of publication must be included in the in-text citation is when there is a direct quote. However, because the sentence simply summarizes an article from the print edition of ESPN The Magazine and is not a direct quote, the page number is not required. As a result, the correct sentence is: The Waffle House restaurant chain serves as a neutral territory where opposing team fans can bond over a shared love of personalized hash browns (Wilson, 2017).
