Answer 1

The correct MLA in-text citation is B, which correctly places the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence, just before the period.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct MLA in-text citation in the provided options is B: In her book Under the Desert Sands, Aaliyah Hassari condemns the Egyptian government's treatment of the country's archeological wonders. (55)

According to MLA guidelines, the in-text citation should include the author's last name and the page number without a comma in between, and it should be placed at the end of the relevant passage, just before the period, in parentheses. Other options either place the citation incorrectly within the text or include unnecessary information like the author's last name when it has already been mentioned in the sentence.

Answer 2

It’s B. In her book Under the Desert Sands, Aaliyah Hassari condemns the Egyptian government’s treatment of the country’s archeological wonders (55).
