Did i used the correct form for in text citation?
In Defense of Testing by Diane Ravitch states that, "The tests widely used today often rely too much on multiple-choice questions, which encourage guessing rather than thinking."(798).
Greetings!
Yes, you did a very good job with the MLA! There is only one tiny error I see, and that is that you don't include the period from the quotation inside the quotation itself; the period at the end of the sentence, after the page number, is sufficient. Also, leave a space between the quotation mark and the parenthesis; so, it would look like this:
In Defense of Testing by Diane Ravitch states that, "The tests widely used today often rely too much on multiple-choice questions, which encourage guessing rather than thinking" (798).
Good work!

I need help with a MLA citation (URL sources)
I know there are sites that help you with the citation, but there are not accurate all the time.
The two sources that I need to cite are from the following websites:
First : wtop.com/?nid=681&sid=2808367
Second : smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/busted-the-politics-of-cleavage-and-a-glance-20120211-1sy7e.html
I would really appreciate some help.
