Read the excerpt from a research essay published in a printed book. Binge-watching television shows several times a week has a negative impact on people’s social lives. According to a study conducted by Dr. Cynthia Toles, adults who binge-watched more than one show a week were more prone to insomnia and a less-healthy diet. Further, "the process of watching several episodes of one show consecutively can cause changes to one’s sleep patterns" (Toles). To follow MLA citation rules properly, what does the author of this essay need to do? add a citation after each sentence in the essay include a page number after the author’s name remove the reference to the name of the doctor place an end quotation mark after the end parenthesis

Answer:

Include a page number after the author's name

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may already know whenever you write a text, an article, an essay, among others and you use the words of another author in your text, you are making a quote. In order for your text not to plagiarize the text from which you quote, you will need to reference the author and where to find the quote in the original text.

In this case, you must format the reference of your quote, according to the MLA guidelines, which affirms that after the quote, you must put in parentheses, the author's surname and, right after, the page number from which you got the quote.

In the case of the text shown above, we can see that it remains to add, after the author's surname, add the page number where the quote was removed.
