Explanation:

Question 11 (Multiple Answer)

In parenthetical citations (e.g., APA, MLA), typical elements include the author’s last name and page number (in MLA, for example: (Smith 123); in APA, sometimes (Smith, 2020) with a comma between author and year, but for the options here, page number and author’s last name are key, and comma can be included in some styles. Author’s first name is not typically included. So the applicable elements are page number, author’s last name, and comma.

• Primary sources are original documents (e.g., diaries, letters).
• Secondary sources interpret/analyze primary sources (historians writing about events using primary docs).
• Tertiary sources are overviews (e.g., encyclopedias).
• “Perspective” is not a standard source type. So a historian’s interpretation based on historical docs is a secondary source.

Answer:

• page number
• author’s last name
• comma
