Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. B and C only

Explanation

MLA 8 ends the title element with a period ('Kiss of the Spider Woman. Translated by…'), so A and D are wrongly punctuated. B (journal article) and C (edited book) follow the template.

Note: The raw source key gave option 1; option 3 follows the MLA rules (and is reported as NTA's final key).
