Read the passage from a student’s essay. Vinnie Ream worked on the Lincoln statue for almost five years, spending some of that time in Italy, where she chose the carrera marble she used for the sculpture.

A New York Times reporter wrote of the finished statue: “It would be foolish adulation to pronounce the statue a great work of art, and probably Miss Ream would not thank anyone for doing so. It may or may not be. The test of time will only determine that. But that it is a contribution of real value to the portraiture of its subject cannot be doubted.”

What should the student add to this passage to meet MLA style standards?

an in-text citation for the New York Times quotation
an explanation of who Vinnie Ream is
a paraphrase in place of the last sentence of the quotation
the date of publication the New York Times article

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
