  10. Let’s see how observant you are: If an entry is longer than one line across the page, where do you begin the carry over lines?

  11. If a title appears in quotation marks,where does the period go -- inside or outside the quotation marks? like this “ .” or like this “ ”. ?

  12. The answer is “INSIDE.”

  16. DATE For date of publication, always use the most recent edition. Therefore, if a book is published in 1997, 2000, and 2001, use 2001 in your bibliography. PLACE For place of publication, always use the first one listed. Therefore, if the book was printed in Toronto, New York and Waterdown…..use Toronto.

  17. When listing the author(s), you must include all of them in the order in which they appear. But...
