If one entry in a Works Cited entry is for a book by Haruki Murakami entitled The Secret Library and a second is for another book by the same individual entitled Norwegian Wood, which of the following is the proper parenthetical note form for a quotation from page 42 of Norwegian Wood?
A. (Mr. Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood, 42)
B. (Norwegian Wood Murakami 42)
C. (Norwegian Wood 42)
D. (Murakami, "Norwegian Wood", page 42)
Answer (2)
In this question, you're being asked to select the correct form for a parenthetical citation from the book 'Norwegian Wood' by Haruki Murakami, specifically for a quotation from page 42. Since there are two books by the same author, it's important to use the correct format to avoid confusion.
In Modern Language Association (MLA) style, which is commonly used for English papers, when citing multiple works by the same author, you include a shortened version of the title in the parenthetical citation. Thus, the correct format here would be:
(Norwegian Wood 42)
This format is used because the reader can then refer to the full reference on the Works Cited page, where they will find the full details of both books. The title 'Norwegian Wood' in the parenthetical citation helps distinguish it from 'The Secret Library.'
Therefore, the correct option from the ones given is:
(Norwegian Wood 42)
The correct parenthetical citation for a quote from page 42 of 'Norwegian Wood' by Haruki Murakami is (Norwegian Wood 42). This format follows the MLA style guidelines by using the shortened title and page number without including the author again. Thus, the chosen option is C.
