The correct answer is:

Experienced listeners are better able to comprehend accented speech, regardless of the type of accent (Gass & Varonis, 1984).

Explanation:

in-text citation in the American Psychological Association (APA) citation style refers to referencing briefly, an author's work in the middle or in the course of writing, which is expressed fully at the end of list references.

There are some general rules obeyed when using in-text citations in the APA referencing format, and these include:

1. in-text citations follows the clause or statements of relevance immediately, and not at the end of a long clause or sentence.

2. in-text citations come before any punctuation marks.

3. if the citation comes before the statement, only the date is put in a bracket. In this example, the statement can also be correctly referenced as follows: Gass and Varonis (1984) discovered that experienced listeners are better able to comprehend accented speech, regardless of the type of accent.

4. when the citation comes after the statement, both the names and dates are put in a bracket, and the ampersand (&) is used to separate the names, instead of the word 'and'.

5. multiple works to the same statement, are separated with a semi-colon. Example: Experienced listeners are better able to comprehend accented speech, regardless of the type of accent (Gass & Varonis, 1984; Matthew Conor, 2003).

6. for direct quotes, page number and quotation marks are included when citing. E. g; "men are mere mortals, death catches up sooner or later" (David Smith, 2001, p. 20)

6. works by more than 2 authors are cited with 'et al' after the first name. E. g; Experienced listeners are better able to comprehend accented speech, regardless of the type of accent (Gass et al., 1984).
