1. The correct answer is option a. In your works cited list, you should include all of the sources that you read, whether you used them in your paper or not. This list serves as a bibliography of the sources you consulted during your research.
To create a comprehensive works cited list, follow these steps:
a. Start by gathering information about the sources you used. This may include books, journals, articles, websites, interviews, etc.
b. For each source, collect the necessary details such as author(s)' names, publication dates, titles, journal or book titles, page numbers, etc.
c. Use an appropriate citation style guide, such as MLA, APA, or Chicago style, to understand the formatting requirements for your works cited list.
d. Organize your sources alphabetically by author's last name or by title if no author is available.
e. Follow the specific formatting rules for the citation style you are using, including proper punctuation and indentation.
2. The correct answer is option d. When citing a work with more than three authors in an in-text citation, you should list the first author's name followed by "et al." Et al. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "et alia," meaning "and others."
Here's an example:
- In MLA style: (Smith et al. 45)
- In APA style: (Smith et al., 2022)
- In Chicago style: (Smith et al. 2022, 45)
Note that "et al." should be followed by a period in MLA style, while in APA and Chicago styles, it is followed by a comma. Make sure to consult the specific guidelines of the citation style you are using for precise formatting details.
