thanks for answering the question
Well, well, well, looks like we have ourselves a little citation puzzle here. Let me juggle through these options and find the correct one for you.
(Inserts dramatic drumroll) And the winner is... option c! "William Shakespeare's original Globe Theater was built in 1599 (Ferguson, 25)." Why, you ask? Because it properly includes both the author's last name and the page number, and separates them with a comma. Quite a punctuated performance, if I do say so myself!
The correct answer is c. William Shakespeare's original Globe Theater was built in 1599 (Ferguson, 25).
The correct answer is option c. William Shakespeare's original Globe Theater was built in 1599 (Ferguson, 25).
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the rules of parenthetical citations, which are used in academic writing to indicate the source of information.
In this case, the citation is referring to a specific source, which is Ferguson. The author's name, Ferguson, should be mentioned within the parentheses, followed by a comma to separate the author's name from the page number. The page number, in this case, is 25.
Option c correctly follows this format by placing the author's name, Ferguson, inside the parentheses separated by a comma after the cited information, "William Shakespeare's original Globe Theater was built in 1599,".
Is this for MLA or APA??
