Okay , I need help understanding the instructions on my quiz for English. I'm not asking for answers but what the heck is my tea
cher talking about. "Most style guides are organized in similar fashion, with a directory of common models to consult as you create a references list. Understanding how to use this directory is crucial to being able to create a references list in the correct style. The first point to understand is that the directory of models is organized according to the category of source (book, periodical, etc.). So you must first decide which category to look in, and then look for the best model to follow in that category. That said, sometimes you will have to combine information from two or more models to get the correct citation.
Examine the directory of models in Chapter 7. Then, choose and follow the example that matches your source the closest."
"Quiz Question Information: There are seven short answer questions. Each question presents reference material information. You will create a properly formatted reference entry for the given reference material information. This situation is somewhat artificial, in that, if you had done the actual research, you would know what category of source you had (book, periodical, etc.). However, for the purposes of the exercise, the categories of sources are labeled and provide additional information."
What is he asking me to do?

AGAIN i am not asking for answer to my quiz but I'm asking for someone to explain to me what am I doing exactly,. What is he asking me to do?
Answer: Practicing with online database and sources in the book.
Explanation:
The Fashion Model Directory is considering an online database where you can find information about agencies, fashion labels, magazines, fashion designer or editorials. It is also called IMDb of fashion because it is the database where you can find everything that is including fashion.
In this case, your professor is wanting from you to examine models from Chapter 7. so you can follow that information along with your sources.
This Quiz is referring to the practice about what you did in the previous question. You can find material information on the Fashion Directory database.
I think that he is trying to show you how can you do your research on the database and how to connect your information with the resources that you already have.
