Which of the following is the correct general format to indicate a pinpoint page for a government report when the year is 1955?

Pinpoint citations to a government report use the marker “at” followed by the specific page, with the year in parentheses at the end. So the general format is Authoring body, Title, at [page number] ([year]). The page number here is 12, and the year is 1955, placed as (1955) at the end. This makes the pinpoint clear without adding extra words. Other forms fail because they either omit the pinpoint marker, replace it with unnecessary wording like “page,” or misplace the year.
