When citing sources in APA format, page numbers should be included

  1. After the in-text citation

  2. Before the in-text citation

  3. Within the in-text citation

  4. Not at all

The correct answer is: After the in-text citation

When citing sources in APA format, page numbers should be included after the in-text citation because it is an important component of the reference. This allows readers to easily locate the information being cited. Including page numbers also demonstrates credibility and thoroughness in the research process. Options B and C are incorrect because page numbers should not be included before or within the in-text citation, as this can cause confusion and disrupt the flow of the sentence. Option D is incorrect because page numbers are necessary in APA format for accurate and complete referencing.
