What does attribute the quotation to its author using MLA format for parenthetical citations mean?
To attribute the quotation to its author means to give the author credit for using his/her work. MLA format is a set of guidelines on how to format research papers. After the quotation, outside the quotation marks, put the author’s name and the page numberwhere you got the quotation. Then readers can look at your Works Cited page to get the complete information on the book. ChaCha!
