"Oh, my poor Mathilde! Mine was an imitation! It was worth five hundred francs at most! ..."
Question 10 options:


"Oh, my poor Mathilde! Mine was an imitation! It was worth five hundred francs at most!" "The Necklace" by Guy de Mauppassant


"Oh, my poor Mathilde! Mine was an imitation! It was worth five hundred francs at most!" (de Maupassant)


"Oh, my poor Mathilde! (de Maupassant) Mine was an imitation! It was worth five hundred francs at most!"


You do not need a citation.

Answer 1

3rd option is correct

Answer 2

The first option is right because it states who has quoted it and also from where the quote is.

In the other sentences, although who as quoted it is mentioned but from where it has been quoted is missing.

Also, when we are giving a credit to someone who has quoted, we should either give it before the sentence or after, and not in between.
