The abbreviation ibid means?

• A. In the same place.
• B. In the following page.
• C. In the bibliography.
• D. In the margins.

Answer: (A)

This tests your knowledge of citation shorthand. Ibid. is short for ibidem, meaning “in the same place.” It signals that the source for this note is the same work as the one cited just before it, so you don’t have to repeat the full bibliographic details. If you’re pointing to a different page in that same source, you add the page number after ibid (for example, ibid., 42). This keeps notes concise and shows continuity with the previous citation. It isn’t used to refer to the bibliography or to the margins, and it doesn’t indicate the next page.
