In the case that I wanted to quote from page 27 of a book by Donald R. Howard about the poet Geoffrey Chaucer's life (titled The Time of Chaucer) for a research paper, the correct way to cite this source using MLA documentation would be:

A) (Howard 27).

Explanation:

The rule of quotation says that to perform a correct cite I would have to use parenthesis to separate the author's last name and the page I want to cite. There is no need to include the name or middle name of the author because citing is a tool to quickly mention the author in the text. Because the full reference will also be included in the text, in case the reader wants to search that source of information.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
