Notice that the second line (and any additional lines beyond that) are indented. Check ALL that are CORRECT

• Indenting is optional, but if the writer decides to indent, she must be consistent and indent all lines beyond the first one

• Indenting is mandatory for second and plus lines to help the reader discern one source from another on the works cited page

• Indenting the second and plus lines are called hanging indentation

Why is there no author in this citation entry?

• It is optional since the writer includes the the URL address. The reader does not need it because by clicking on the URL address, the reader can find the author's name.

• The writer make a mistake and forgot to list the author.

• There is no author, so the rule in 8th edition MLA, if you do not have the information you simply skip and continue with the following information needed for the citation.

• The author's name is the Website Publisher.
