Detailed explanation-2: -Signal phrase ("Citation in prose” in the MLA Handbook): Introducing the name of the author or the work’s title in the text of your sentence.
Detailed explanation-3: -In-text citations include the last name of the author followed by a comma and the publication year enclosed in parentheses: (Smith, 2007).
