When you are quoting directing from a source, what information do you need to include in the text?

A	Author’s name
B	Author’s name and date of publication
C	Author’s name, date of publication and page number.
D	Your name

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Include the author, year, and specific page number for that quotation. For material without page numbers, give the paragraph number or a time stamp. Include a complete reference in the reference list.

Detailed explanation-2: -For every in-text citation in your paper, there must be a corresponding entry in your reference list. APA in-text citation style uses the author’s last name and the year of publication, for example: (Field, 2005). For direct quotations, include the page number as well, for example: (Field, 2005, p. 14).

Detailed explanation-3: -Even though you have not read the quoted source you must acknowledge the original source of the information, as well as the work in which it appears, in a parenthetical note. The name, date and page reference of the work in which information originated should appear first, followed by ‘cited’ and then the name etc.
