In the constructed response below, why is the second citation missing the Act number and scene number?

It's clear from her answers to her mother's questions that marriage is not a priority to Juliet at this time. When asked how she feels about marriage, Juliet says, "It is an honor that I dream not of" (I, iii, 68). Later when her mother asks if she's interested in Paris, she responds, "I'll look to like, if looking liking move. / But no more deep will I indart mine eye / Than your consent gives strength to make it fly" (99-101).
