Answer 9

say you're writing a paper, and you're citing a source in MLA format. you end your paragraph with the citation, say it's (Jones 1). as long as you do not introduce another source into that same paragraph, you can end your paragraphs with only the page number. it would look something like this:

studies have shown that orange cats prefer orange food (Jones 27). it has also been proven in the same study that black cats prefer licorice (38). etc etc etc
