Direct quotations in APA 7th require the author, the year of the work you consulted, and a page or paragraph number for the quoted passage; titles are not used in place of the year in the in‑text citation.

Relevant knowledge points:
- For a short quotation (<40 words) use quotation marks and include author, year, and page/paragraph number in the in‑text citation.
- Use the year of the edition you consulted in the in‑text citation (the original publication year can be noted in the reference list: “(Original work published 1976)”).
- Book titles belong in the reference list (italicized); you do not put the title in parentheses immediately after the author in the in‑text citation.

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. The provided quote shows: Foucault (The history of sexuality) states that “…” — this puts the book title where the year should be. APA expects the year in parentheses after the author (e.g., Foucault, 1979).
2. The quotation as given lacks a page or paragraph number. For a direct quote APA requires a page (p. X) or paragraph number (para. X) so readers can locate the passage.
3. The source reference correctly lists the translated edition and original publication year; however, that information belongs in the reference list, not replacing the in‑text year.

Correct formatting examples:
- Narrative: Foucault (1979) stated, “Power is everywhere; not because it embraces everything, but because it comes from everywhere” (p. xx). 
- Parenthetical: “Power is everywhere …” (Foucault, 1979, p. xx).

Why the given answer is correct:
- The provided quotation is incorrect because it uses the title instead of the date and omits the required page/paragraph citation.

Why “Yes, this is quoted correctly” would be incorrect:
- It ignores APA’s requirement for the year and page/paragraph number in the in‑text citation and misplaces the book title.

Conclusion: No, this is not quoted correctly. This matches the provided answer.
