Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. A, C and D only

Explanation

MLA prescribes one-inch margins, allows a slash between paired opposites, and indents Works Cited entries by half an inch. Titles are never bolded in MLA.

Note: Statement E is trivially true since nothing is bolded; the key treats it as false.
