question 10 of 25
what is the correct mla format for a parenthetical citation for this internet article?
reed, louisa. \baby names.\ all about babies, 15 aug. 2010, allaboutbabies.com/babynames. accessed 19 sept. 2019.
a. (allaboutbabies.com)
b. (\baby names,\ allaboutbabies.com)
c. (name, all about babies)
d. (reed)

Explanation:

MLA parenthetical citations prioritize the author's last name when available. The article has a known author (Louisa Reed), so the correct citation uses the last name "Reed" to direct readers to the full works-cited entry. Other options use unnecessary elements (URL, article title, generic terms) instead of the author's name, which is the standard first choice in MLA format.

Answer:

D. (Reed)
