I. In-Text Citations
1 . Correction
The house was left; the house was deserted (Woolf, 1920, p. 21).

The quotation marks and the comma should be omitted.
2 . Correction
Sartre (1920) writes, “I remember one of those terrible evenings” (p. 40).
Reason
The words, “One author writes” are irrelevant, since Sartre is already cited as the author.
3 . Correction
I’ve looked up the record and obviously you weren’t in a position to see that she was properly cared for (Camus, n. d, p.3).
Reason
The words “According to one author” are irrelevant since Camus is already introduced as the author. The quotation marks should also be omitted and the abbreviation “n. d” be used to show that the dated of the publication is not known.

4 . Correction
There had been a sign to detour in the center of the main street of this town (Hemingway, n. d, p. 21).
Reason

5 . Correction
Kerouac (n. d) writes, “I went with Dean to the sergeant’s desk, and we tried to explain to the police that we had no money” (p. 121).

II. Block Quotes
Correction
New York was bad enough. By nine in the morning, the fake country-wet freshness that somehow seeped in overnight evaporated like the tail end of a sweet dream (“Plath Writes of the City,” n. d, p.1).
Reason
Since there is no provision of the author, the title of the article should be put in quotation marks. Because no date provided, the abbreviation “n. d” should be included and “p.1” should be used to indicate page number 1. The quotation marks enclosing the statement should be omitted.
Correction
Hemingway (n. d) stated, “The Paris part came earlier and he was not frightened of it except when she had gone off with someone else and the fear that they might take the same driver twice. That was what was frightening about that. Never mind about the front” (p. 89).
Reason
The phrase should be put in quotation and the “p.89” be used to indicate page number 89. “n. d” should be used to show no date provided.
