Which form uses the author's name in parentheses after the quoted passage?

This form tests how to attribute a direct quotation using a parenthetical citation. When you repeat someone’s exact words, you put them in quotation marks and then provide the source. Putting the author's name in parentheses after the quoted passage is a common way to attribute the quote without weaving the author into the sentence itself, keeping the focus on the directly quoted material. This is different from an indirect quote, which is a paraphrase and does not use the exact wording or quotation marks. It’s also different from a direct quote without author, which would lack attribution, or a direct quote with the author’s name integrated into the sentence, which places the author outside of parentheses. So, the described form is direct quotation with the author’s name in parentheses after the passage.
