First Time's a Charm. Houston: La Prensa Texas, 1995. Print.

Answer 1

D. ---. First Time's a Charm. Houston: La Prensa Texas, 1995. Print.

Since the Works Cited page is alphabetical, the two books by the same author will be one after the other. Because of this, you do not need to include any of the author's name. Instead, replace the name with three hyphens. Do NOT forget the period! It usually comes after the author's name, but in this case, it needs to be after the hyphens.

MLA has updated their requirements for citing sources. It is no longer the rule that you must put "Print" for print sources. Now, this citation should end with the period after the copyright date.

Answer 2

Answer is D. ---. First Time's a Charm. Houston: La Prensa Texas, 1995. Print.
