Answer 1

Option A (Fielding 111)

Step-by-step explanation:

To quote citations from print sources in which the author is known, such as magazines, journal articles, etc. we should provide a signal word or phrase, generally the author’s name, and the page number. In the example above we know the one who wrote the article is Stephen R. Fielding and also the page number, that's why option A is the correct one.

Answer 2

The answer is option D: ("New Toy Breeds," 111)

As regards parenthetical citations, when quoting articles with no specific author acknowledgement, it is proper to cite them with the name of the publication within quotation marks, followed by a comma and the number of the page from which the piece of writing is extracted.
