    wrong information

    Explanation:

    This in-text citation has the wrong information. In-text citations should begin with the author's last name, if the author was not previously identified in the information leading up to the quote. In this citation, the author used the title of the article instead of the author's last name. The page number should be included when the source is paginated. Online sources do not have pages so they are not required.

    The correct answer is D. Wrong information

    Explanation:

    The word "citation" refers to the use of some external resource as part of a document and the correct way to credit the information being used or telling the reader to which source or author the information belongs. For doing this, the MLA or Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing which is the most common style manual followed in academical documents establishes the type of information that needs to be included for crediting a source depending on which type the source is.

    In the case of Magazine Articles during in-text citations it is necessary to include the last name of the author and the page number in which the words or ideas used appear this means the correct citation would be (Ferber 17), however, if it is an only magazine article only the last name is included and (Ferber) would be the right the information to include. This means the error in the in-text citation ("Pluto's Status Shift" 17) is that it includes the wrong information as the name of the magazine and the name of the article was included and in this case, the most important is to include the last name of the author and the page if the document contains this information.
