BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks to identify the correct word to fill in an APA in-text citation for an indirect source (a source quoted in another source).

In APA style, when you are citing information that was quoted or reported in another source, you use the phrase 'as cited in' followed by the secondary source (the one you consulted). The word that completes the blank in the phrase '(as cited in Miller, 2016)' is 'cited' because the structure is 'as cited in [Author], [Year].' This signals that the specific wording or idea came from an earlier source, but you found it through another source.

Why this choice fits: 'cited' communicates that attribution is to the original source via the secondary source, which aligns with APA guidance on indirect or secondary citations. It preserves the attribution chain and avoids presenting the original source as directly consulted.

Why other possibilities would be incorrect: If you used a word like 'quoted' instead of 'cited', it would imply that you directly quoted the original source, which you did not since you accessed Miller (2016) as your source; you did not quote Miller but the author who quoted the original material. Other verbs such as 'mentioned' or 'referenced' would be too vague and do not convey the precise citation relationship required by APA for indirect sourcing. In short, 'cited' specifically communicates the indirect nature of the citation in the given format.
