Hmmm ... now you have me wondering. Is "Hannibal" the title of the article? Or is it the last name of the author? Your question is not clear.

the answer is the third one

The correct parenthetical citation for an encyclopedia article would be: ("Hannibal" 16-17).

When citing sources using parenthetical citations, you typically include the author's name or title of the work in quotation marks, followed by the page number or range. In this case, "Hannibal" is the title of the article being cited, and 16-17 indicates the page range where the information was found. It is important to note that the citation should not include any additional punctuation marks such as a comma after the title.

Therefore, the correct citation is: ("Hannibal" 16-17).

Neither is correct. Go here -- http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/ -- and scroll down to the section on sources with no known author.

Read carefully.
