Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both APA and MLA cite sources within a paper by using parenthetical, in-text references. MLA uses the author’s last name and the page number as reference. APA uses the author’s last name and the year of publication. If a direct quote is used, APA requires author’s name, year, and page number.

Detailed explanation-2: -References for a chapter from an edited book contain seven elements: chapter author(s), year, title of chapter, editor(s) name, title of the book, edition (if necessary) and chapter page range, and publisher. If the book has a DOI or a URL, you should include that as well.
