Question

an in-text citation should be identified by ________.

the publisher and domain of the work

the author’s last name or title of the work

the edition of the work and publication year

Explanation:

In academic writing, in-text citations are designed to clearly link borrowed content to its source. Standard citation styles (like APA, MLA) use either the author's last name (with publication year in some styles) or the work's title (if no author is listed) to identify the source within the text. Publisher/domain and edition/year alone do not serve as the primary identifier for in-text citations.

Answer:

the author's last name or title of the work
