Answer 1

Answer:

d. The words "Running head" appear on the title page only, with the header being listed in the left margin and the page number being listed in the right margin of every page.

Explanation:

A running head is a short title that appears at the top of every page of any academic paper. It is in the page header where it identifies the pages for the readers so as not to make any confusion even if the pages get lost. According to the APA or American psychological Association style of writing, the "running heads" appear on the title page only, with the header being listed in the left margin and the page number being listed in the right margin of every page.
