Question

which of the following is an example of an in-text citation for a print source with a known author? human beings have been described as symbol-using animals (3). human beings have been described by an unknown author as symbol-using animals (3). human beings have been described by kenneth burke as symbol-using animals (3). human beings have been described as symbol-using animals (burke 3).

Explanation:

An in - text citation for a print source with a known author should include the author's name (either in the text or in parentheses) and the page number. The green option includes the author's name (Kenneth Burke) in the text and the page number (3). The orange option doesn't include the author's name. The blue option mentions an unknown author. The red option has a formatting issue in the citation (the author's name and page number in parentheses should be in the correct format, but the green one properly includes the known author's name in the text along with the page number).

Answer:

The green box option: Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as'symbol - using animals' (3).
