The right answer is A. Sarah Reidel, a transport planner, describes abbreviated workweeks as schedules that are "regularly less than 40 hours per week" (47).
Explanation:
In-text citations incorporate another person's ideas or phrases to enhance or clarify your own arguments. This process can be executed in two primary methods: either by quoting the exact words, known as a quotation, or by paraphrasing, which involves restating someone else's concepts in your own way. In both cases, it's essential to cite the source. The MLA Manual serves as a guideline for writing and publishing, stipulating that when quoting, the author's surname and the page number where the quote appears should be indicated. This can be done by including the author's name in the text followed by the page number in parentheses after the quotation, or by listing both the author's surname and page number in parentheses without mentioning the author in the text. In relation to the citation in question, it’s necessary not to repeat Sarah Reidel’s name either at the beginning or end of the sentence. Thus, the correct response is option A, as it complies with MLA guidelines by stating the author initially, proceeding with the quote, and concluding with the page number without repeating the author's name.
