Answer to Question 1

C
The statement With the evolution of the Internet, the world has become smaller (James 156)
illustrates the citation style of the MLA. The MLA style emphasizes the page number to
facilitate locating the exact information. The author's last name and the page number appear
in parentheses immediately following the quoted or paraphrased material. In this style, no
comma is used to separate the author's name and the page number.

consecutive raised numbers to identify quoted or paraphrased ideas throughout a report. The
documentation format preferred in the humanities, The Chicago Manual of Style, is well
established and has been used for years.
