Answer 2

Answer:

A. Monday, November 12, 2014

Explanation:

There are several correct ways to write dates:

1. In the United States, dates usually begin with the month, followed by the day and the year. Include a comma after the day. If you wish to include the day of the week, place it before the date, followed by a comma.

• December 7, 1941

• January 19, 2015

• Sunday, December 7, 1941

• Monday, January 19, 2015

2. Another style of writing dates puts the day first, followed by the month and the year. Use no punctuation.

• 7 December 1941

• 19 January 2015

3. Dates may also be written using numbers only.

• 12/07/1941 (December 7, 1941)

• 01/19/2015 (January 19, 2015)
