b. ("Little Lord Fauntleroy," 18).

c. (Syng).

d. (Syng 18).

Answer 1

a. (Syng, p. 18).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A). Syng, page. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

An in-text citation usually follows the pattern beginning the author's last name followed by initials(first and second), year, month, day, article name, Newspaper title and the page range for general reference. But in case of paraphrase, the in-text citation is written as the author's last name followed by the year which is not among the options. Thus, the most appropriate among the given ones could be (Syng, p.18) as the other options are not following the format at all and hence, either incomplete or inappropriate.
