Explanation:

To determine the correct MLA format for a quote, we check the in - text citation. In MLA, the in - text citation should include the author's last name and the page number (if available). The left option has the citation as (Obama 91), which follows MLA format (author's last name and page number). The right option has (Barack pg91), where using "Barack" (first name) and "pg" is incorrect. Also, the left option correctly refers to "The President" (contextually Barack Obama) and uses the proper citation format.

Answer:

The quote on the Left (During the Democratic National Convention, The President spoke of how the American dream is still possible, but society must realize that “there’s not a Black America and White America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America” (Obama 91).)
