Explanation:

Question 1

In MLA in - text citation for a book with one author, the format is (Author Page). Option A has a comma between author and year (APA - like), Option B has no page and is incorrect, Option D has "p." which is not used in in - text for MLA (just author and page). So Option C (Smith 45) is correct.

MLA Works Cited for a book with one author is Author's last name, first name. Title of the book. Publisher, Year. Option A follows this: Smith, John. The Art of Writing. Penguin, 2019. Option B has year before publisher, Option C has author as first name last name (wrong order), Option D has title and year order wrong.

For an online journal article in MLA Works Cited, we include article title, journal title, URL/DOI, and publication date in "Month day, year" is not required (MLA uses day - month - year? No, MLA for journal articles: the publication date format is usually year - month - day? Wait, no, the key is that the article's publication date in "Month day, year" format is not part of the Works Cited entry for an online journal? Wait, no, actually, the wrong one here: MLA Works Cited for online journal: Author, "Article Title," Journal Title, vol., no., year, page range, URL/DOI. So the publication date in "Month day, year" is not included. So Option D should NOT be included.

Answer:

C) (Smith 45)
