What should be done when citing a source in an essay?

Provide the author’s name in parentheses
Name the source in the introduction
List the source in the References section
Include the complete citation in the essay

The correct answer is: Include the complete citation in the essay

When citing a source in an essay, it is important to provide the complete citation within the essay. This includes the author's name, title of the work, publication date, and page number if applicable. Option A is incorrect because simply providing the author's name in parentheses does not give enough information about the source. Option B is incorrect because only mentioning the source in the introduction does not fulfill the requirement of properly citing the source. Option C is incorrect because listing the source in the References section is only necessary if a specific citation style, such as APA or MLA, is being followed. Therefore, the best practice is to include the complete citation within the essay.
