Final answer:

The in-text citation for the paraphrased sentence has several errors: the author's name is cited within parentheses, there is no page reference included, and the citation is missing a period. A correct APA in-text citation should include the author's name within the sentence, the year of publication, a separate set of parentheses for the page reference, and a period at the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

The in-text citation for the paraphrased sentence has several errors:

  1. The author's name should be cited within the sentence, not within parentheses.
  2. The year of publication should come immediately after the author's name, separated by a comma.
  3. The page reference should be included in the citation, but it should be in a separate set of parentheses and not included in the initial citation.
  4. There is a missing period at the end of the citation.

A correct APA in-text citation for the paraphrased sentence would be: According to Brian Bethune (2014), as people get older, they should start making an effort to interact with others to keep restoring links in their social circle (p. 425).
