Answer 2

Answer: The entry that is completely correct is C: Adams, George. Letter to the Author. 25 Oct. 2010. TS.

Explanation: According to MLA and APA guidelines, the first thing that should be included in an entry of works cited is the last name and then the first name of the author. Furthermore, all the initials of content words included in the title of the letter must be capitalized; therefore, the "L" and "A" in "letter" and "author" respectively must be capitalized. Moreover, a period should be included at the end, that is to say after "TS", which stands for “typescript”. The only entry that follows all these rules is C: Adams, George. Letter to the Author. 25 Oct. 2010. TS.
