Cassie Vincent · Answer 1

The correct answer is A) (Bloom 113)

Explanation:

The MLA (Modern Language Association) establishes the elements that should be included in citations according to the type of source. In this context, for books, it is necessary to include the last name of the author and the page number where the information can be found at the end of the sentence that was quoted or cited. Moreover, these two elements should be enclosed in parentheses with no punctuation marks between them; although it is also acceptable to include the last name during the text and then the page number in parentheses. According to this, the correct end for a quotation taken from page 113 of Harold Bloom's book is (Bloom 113).
