Question

Which guidelines should be followed when creating a works cited page using MLA format? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

The correct answers are options 1, 3 and 4. The works cited page is separate page at the end of the essay that includes all the sources referred to within the essay. According to MLA format, on this page, the section heading "Works Cited" should be centered and in normal font, each cited work should be doubled spaced, and hanging indent should be used for lengthy citations, that is, for the second and subsequent lines of each citation.

Options 2 and 5 are incorrect because, when following MLA format, on the works cited page, the citations should not be listed in chronological order but in alphabetical order by author’s last name or the first main word in the entry. Moreover, the page should not include the researcher’s name and address but his/her last name and page number.
