This quiz is quite difficult. You must get the citation exactly right. A period or comma out of place, or a uncapitalized word will result in a wrong answer. For help you can consult the MLA citation lesson in the Tutorial. If you want more detailed help you should consult the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 5th edition. If you don't own a copy check your library. When citing the title of a book or a magazine you cannot underline so just type the words. Good luck.
