Explanation:

• In - text citation for a direct quote should include the author's name (if not already in the text) and the page number.
• Option A has the author's name in the text (Michael Andrews) and then the page number with the author's last name again in parentheses (Andrews 22), which is correct for an in - text citation of a direct quote.
• Option B is a paraphrase (not a direct quote) and the citation format is incorrect as it lacks the author's name in the citation part.
• Option C is a direct quote but the citation format is incorrect as it lacks the author's name in the citation part (should be Andrews 22 instead of just 22 if the author's name is not in the signal phrase).
• Option D is a paraphrase and has no citation at all.

Answer:

A. Michael Andrews notes, "The novel has several excellent examples of symbolism" (Andrews 22).
