Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In-Text Citations: Citations are placed in the context of discussion using the author’s last name and date of publication. When a work has no identified author, cite in text the first few words of the article title using double quotation marks, “headline” style capitalization, and the year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use a shortened version of the title in your MLA in-text citation. If a source has no page numbers, you can use an alternative locator (e.g. a chapter number, or a timestamp for a video or audio source) to identify the relevant passage in your in-text citation.

Detailed explanation-3: -In-Text/Parenthetical Citation If no author is listed, use a shortened title of the work. Put the title in quotation marks if it’s a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it’s a longer work (such as books or entire websites), and include page numbers (if there are any).
