Answer 1

The correct parenthetical citation format according to the MLA style for the given article would be (Holmes 26), referencing the last name of the author and the page number from where the information was taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

You asked which option correctly shows the parenthetical citation from p. 26 of an article in the January 2015 issue of TIME magazine. According to the Modern Language Association (MLA) citation style, the correct format for a citation usually includes the last name of the author and the page number without any punctuation between them. Therefore, the correct answer is (Holmes 26). The letter 'c' is likely a typo, and should be '26' instead of '15' since the information comes from page 26. So, your corrected choices should be:

(Growing Old 26)

(Time 26)

(Holmes 26)

(Jason Holmes, p. 26)

Among these corrected options, the choice that follows the MLA citation format is (Holmes 26) as it includes the author's last name followed by the page number.
