Question

which two internal citations for a book version of helen keller’s memoir are correct? but miss sullivan did not arrive until the following march (keller 11). but miss sullivan did not arrive until the following march (keller 11). but miss sullivan did not arrive until the following march. (keller 11) as keller writes, “but miss sullivan did not arrive until the following march.” (11) as keller writes, “but miss sullivan did not arrive until the following march.” (11)

Explanation:

Internal citations for a book require the author's last name and page number (no comma between them) for parenthetical citations, or the author's name in the signal phrase plus the page number in parentheses. The first option uses a signal phrase ("As Keller writes") and places the page number correctly in parentheses without extra punctuation. The third option uses a parenthetical citation with the author's last name and page number, which is also correct. The second option has an unnecessary comma in the parenthetical, and the fourth option omits the author's last name in the parenthetical (incorrect for parenthetical citations without a signal phrase).

Answer:

The first option ("As Keller writes, 'But Miss Sullivan did not arrive until the following March.' (11)") and the third option ("But Miss Sullivan did not arrive until the following March. (Keller 11)") are correct.
