I have a text which I would like to quote. However, the particular section of the text in which I am interested cites but does not directly quote another author. Do I need an indirect citation, and if so what form would that take? For example: I want to quote the following out of Jones' paper: _Students are found to become more politically active in college (Smith)._ Do I cite it as: A) "Students are found to become more politically active in college" (Jones). B) "Students are found to become more politically active in college" (Smith qtd. in Jones). C) Something else entirely? A similar question was asked here, but the last part was never answered:[MLA: citing indirect sources w/o quoting](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/16178/mla-citing-indirect-sources-w-o-quoting)
