  20. What are MLA standards for incorporating publishers’ names?

  21. MLA requires that you use abbreviated forms of publishers’ names in the works cited list. In general omit articles; abbreviations, such as Inc. and Corp.; and words such as Publishers, Books, and Press. If the publishers name includes a person’s name, use the last name only. Finally, use standard abbreviations whenever you can – UP for University Press and P for Press, for example.

  30. What is the rule regarding long quotes?

  31. When a quotation is longer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of verse, set it off from the text by indenting the entire quotation from the left margin. Double-space the indented quotation, and do not add extra space above or below it. Quotation marks are unnecessary when a quote has been indented.

  32. TRUE or FALSE: When you are citing a website, you have to list the URL/web address.
