1). For this assignment please complete the two attached files. The first assignment is assessing your knowledge of APA formatting with in-text citations. It is your task to identify what is wrong with the in-text citations (if indeed something is incorrect) and to write the sentence with the corrected formatting.

APA In-Text Citation Practice |Punctuating Citations

Each of the following in-text citations presents a mistake in punctuation placement. (This could be comma placement,

period placement, quotation placement, or placement of parenthesis.)

Circle the punctuation mistake on your paper and, in the space provided, briefly explain how to fix the mistake.

1). A recent report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that over the last five years "the U.S. civilian noninstitutional population ages 15 and older spent an average of 2 hours 46 minutes per day watching TV." (Krantz-Kent, 2018, p. 2)

2). Rachel Krantz-Kent (2018), a branch chief at the BLS, pointed out that "with TV programs, videos, and movies accessible from such devices as tablets and computers, televisions are no longer needed for people to engage in TV watching (p. 5)."

3). In The Atlantic, Joe Pinsker (2019) reported, "Parents tend to watch less TV than nonparents do." ("America Has a Free Time Gender Gap")

4). Pinsker (2019) also noted that, "generally speaking, the older, less educated, or less affluent people are, the more TV they're likely to watch."

5). Pinsker (2019) cited studies on the subject, but additionally offered his own explanation for part of the trend, suggesting "many moms are made to feel guilty for taking time for themselves".

6). In "When Did TV Watching Peak" Alexis C. Madrigal (2017) reported that, "television viewing didn't peak until 2009-2010, when the average American household watched 8 hours and 55 minutes of TV per day".

2). The second assginment is assessing your knowledge of APA formatting with references. The information for each source is provided. It is your task to produce the reference page citation for each.
