Ainsley Duffy · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

In MLA style, we should follow the author-page method for citation. For in-text citation or parenthetical citation, we can insert the last name of author either in the sentence or in a parentheses which comes after the quotation or paraphrase. However, page numbers should be always inserted in parentheses not in the sentence.

Based on the above-mentioned information, both sentences are acceptable.
