Explanation:

Analyze Question 7

In APA style, URLs are never included in the in-text citation (which only uses the author's surname and year of publication, e.g., Smith, 2020). Instead, the URL is included at the end of the reference list entry to allow readers to retrieve the source.

Analyze Question 8

When introducing a direct quote using a signal phrase in APA style:

• The authors' names and the publication year must be integrated properly: "According to Smith and Jones (2020)..."
• The direct quote must be enclosed in quotation marks: "The research findings were inconclusive."
• A comma is used to separate the introductory signal phrase from the direct quotation.
• Therefore, the first option is correct: According to Smith and Jones (2020), "The research findings were inconclusive."
