Which rules must be followed for an mla citation to be correct? select four options. a. the author’s name, if known, must be included. b. both opening and closing quotation marks must be used when quoting directly from a text. c. the complete citation must be added to the works cited page. d. the author’s name should be included only if the source is a book. e. a parenthetical citation must be included before the quotation from the source. f. the author’s name can be placed either before the quotation or within parentheses. g. a closing quotation mark should be eliminated if the quotation is longer than one line.

I believe that the answers are: B, C, A, and D.

The MLA citation rules that are correct are:

A. The author’s name, if known, must be included.

The surname should be first and be followed by a comma and the rest of the name.

B. Both opening and closing quotation marks must be used when quoting directly from a text.

Quotation marks are used to indicate that the fragment was literary taken from someone else's work.

F. The author’s name can be placed either before the quotation or within parentheses.

For instance: Foucault states “...” (255) Or (Foucault 255)

E. A parenthetical citation must be included before the quotation from the source.

A parenthetical citation contains the author's last name and the page number or pages numbers of the included information. For example:

The author stated "University students had difficulties using the MLA rules since they are no clear enough for them." (Jones 789).

wheres the following authors?

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
