Question

How would you correct this in-text/parenthetical citation?

The opening line of the novel Moby D*** by Herman Melville is. "Call me Ishmael"
(Ishmael 1).
A. It is fine as is.
B. add a period after the first Ishmael - "Call me Ishmael." (Ishmael 1).
C. change it to: (1)
D. change it to: (Melville 1)

Answer 1

D

(ik know its to late but this is for anyone else that needs help)

Explanation:

The question isn't asking you to correct Melville. Its asking you to correct somebody who had referenced him so therefore it could not be A or b. Also when doing in-text/parenthetical citations you have to add the author/speaker and the page number so it could not be c. And that leaves D as the only correct option.

Answer 2

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Moby D*** is one of America's great literary masterpieces. The text has a period after Ishmael. That means there is an end to the thought. If it was not there, whatever followed would be part of the opening paragraph. Melville is very conscious of what he is doing all the time at any time.
