Explanation:
We need to write
in-text citations for each book using the APA style. In APA, an in-text citation for a book includes the
author’s last name and the
year of publication, in parentheses:
(Author Last Name, Year)
Let’s go one by one:
1. *Wild Wanderings*
- Author: May Hirschfield
- Published: 1989
→ In-text:
(Hirschfield, 1989)
*(Note: Use only the last name — “Hirschfield”)*
2. *The Hard Way*
- Author: Jonathan Davies
- Published: 2022
→ In-text:
(Davies, 2022)
3. *Everyday Witchcraft*
- Author: Allie Porter
- Published: 2020
→ In-text:
(Porter, 2020)
4. *Play Better, Live Better*
- Author: Richard Jones, DVM
- Published: 2023
→ In-text:
(Jones, 2023)
*(“DVM” is a credential, not part of the name used in citations)*
5. *Friendship 101*
- Author: Wanda Perkins
- Published: 2019
→ In-text:
(Perkins, 2019)
6. *Enlightenment*
- Author: Haley Kim
- Published: 2011
→ In-text:
(Kim, 2011)
Double-check:
- All last names are correctly extracted.
- Years match exactly as given.
- No commas or periods inside the parentheses except between name and year.
- No “p.” or page numbers needed here — those are for direct quotes, but the directions just say “in-text citation,” and for general reference to a whole book, (Author, Year) is correct.
Final Answer:
1. (Hirschfield, 1989)
2. (Davies, 2022)
3. (Porter, 2020)
4. (Jones, 2023)
5. (Perkins, 2019)
6. (Kim, 2011)
