The name of site should NOT be in italics. B. The date of access, at the end of the citation, is missing. C. The order of resource creation date is wrong. D. The author name and site name should NOT be separated by a period.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The author name and site name should NOT be separated by a period.

Explanation:

All of the other options are actually something that you should do, and the MLA does not require to write down the date of acces to the resource, the only option that is incorrect is the fact that Name of the author and site name are not together, so that would be the best option, the name of the site should always be in Italics, and the order of resource creation should always be in Day-Month-Year format.

Answer 2

Answer: B, the date of access is missing.

Explanation: In all citations, you must include the date of access, the name of the author/publisher/contributors, the publishing date, and obviously, the name.
