Question

Author Erica Redden’s comments on science fiction technology, from p.27: “Science-fiction writers help us envision technology of the future and in doing so, inspire technological innovation.” What information does this note card provide? a quotation from the source author the title, publisher, and date of publication the type of source: book or magazine a parenthetical in-text citation

Answer 1

When the author comes up with these kind of comments we have to say that is a parenthetical in-text citation, which supports some ideas. There is no way to think it is the source in itself. So the second option is the correct one

Answer 2

Answer: a quotation from the source author.

We know that this text is a quotation for two reasons. The first reason is that it is enclosed in quotation marks. The second reason is that it is stated that the sentence comes from page 27. We also know that the quotation comes from the source author because the text begins by saying "Author Erica Redden."
