Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The date accessed has been omitted

Explanation:

The MLA or Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing is manual that rules the parameters to write and publish academic documents including citation which is the use of the ideas or words of an external source or author. In this case, the MLA establishes it is necessary to include some information about the author during in-text citations and all the information of the source at the end of the document in a reference list. In the case of online sources the MLA establishes it is required to include the name of the author (Last name first), the title of the source, the title of the website or name of the book or document, the date of publication of the source and the date the author of the document had access to the source as online sources can change over time. The citation presented in the question includes all the elements except the date the source was accessed as only the date the source was created is presented. Thus, the error contained in the MLA book citation is that the date accessed has been omitted.
