A) usually
B) $n o t$
C) always
D) sometimes
Solution
Answer
The answer is B) not
Explanation
Option 1: usually
This option is incorrect because the author's name is already mentioned before the direct quote, so it does not need to be repeated in the citation.
Option 2: not
This option is correct because if the author's name is mentioned before a direct quote, it should not be included again in the citation. The citation should focus on the page number or other relevant details.
Option 3: always
This option is incorrect because it suggests that the author's name should always be included in the citation, even if it has already been mentioned, which is unnecessary.
Option 4: sometimes
This option is incorrect because it implies inconsistency. The rule is clear that if the author's name is mentioned before the quote, it should not be repeated in the citation.
