Question

a writer wants to use a quotation from p. 950 of the following source in her paper: obama, b. (2016). eulogy for clementa pinckney. in m. a. goldthwaite, j. bizup, j. brereton, a. fernald, & l. peterson (eds.), the norton reader: an anthology of nonfiction (14th ed., pp. 949 - 955). w. w. norton. fill in the blank to complete the sentence below using apa style guidelines. obama (2016) described clementa pinckney as “the progeny of a long line of the faithful—a family of preachers who spread god’s word, a family of protestors who sowed change to expand voting rights and desegregate the south” (obama, 2016, p. 950) (pg. 950) (p. 950)

Explanation:

In APA style, when citing a page number within the text after the author's name and year, the correct format is (p. page number). The "pg." abbreviation is not used in APA, and since the author's name (Obama) and year (2016) are already in the text, we only need to add the page number in the format (p. 950).

Answer:

(p. 950)
