Which statement about in-text citations is most accurate? they are comprehensive listings of source material. they should provide enough information to look up the text cited in its original source. they point the reader to a more detailed listing on the works cited page. they can never contain the author's name outside of parentheses. me !

The answer is "They point the reader to a more detailed listing on the Works Cited page." A listing of source material is too long. If you can look up the text cited outside of a works cited page, the citation is most likely too long or incorrect. An author's name can always be included outside of a parentheses. For example, in the essay I am currently writing, I put: "In Annie Dillard’s An American Childhood, Dillard depicts, in detail, the personality and characteristics of her mother."

The answer is zilch nawm sayn
