Respuesta :

The statements that is true about style guidelines is APA guidelines suggest writing only the first author's name followed by et al. in case of more than six authors. The other true statement is APA guidelines suggest using the word and in a list of multiple authors.

Explanation:

The MLA and APA style writing guides provide us with organized and nicely researched papers that can be used for reference and investigations. Students ought to choose between APA or MLA when writing a research paper.

  • Option A is wrong. In MLA, writers label the page of citations and references as “Works Cited” and not “References.” The “Works Cited” sentence should not be italicized or closed in quotation marks. It should be aligned at the center.
  • Option B is true. In APA, a reference list of two authors should have an ampersand sign (&) instead of “and.” If it is an in-text citation, you can use the word "and"  if it is the works of two or three to five authors
  • Option D is also wrong. The use of italics for unpublished works should be enclosed with quotation marks and not italicized.
  • We are left with option B. While offering an in-text citation in APA for six or more authors, writers are required to use the first author's name followed by et al.
