6 references correction and 6 multiple choice questions

There are two parts to the assignment. The first is a reference list that needs correction. There are 20 separate errors within the list (my counting may be off, but there are at least 20). Two of the sources are correctly formatted. Some hints: remember the first “rule” of ordering a reference list; remember the name of a publisher is not a journal title; the examples of the types of references begin on page 198 in the Manual. You must create a properly formatted reference list. In other words, replace the errors with the proper corrections. If something is missing, just say what it is. You do not have to search out the particular sources.

The second part is six multiple choice questions. Type the letter of the correct answer at the end of each question below the final answer option .
