You are writing a research paper on the woolly mammoth and are using this text as one of your sources. You want to use the quotation from Dr. Fedorsky located in the fourth paragraph. Assuming that all of this information can be found on page 5, how would you correctly cite this information in your paper using MLA format?

ANSWER - D

EXPLANATION - The proper way to cite information from this text is Russian archeologist, Dr. Yuri Fedorsky, states that one reason wooly mammoths are extinct may be because "a terrible disease might have swept across the population" (Carson 5). The doctor's name and title are placed before his quotation. Then, the last name of the author of the article and the page number are listed in parentheses.
