Explanation:

Question 19

In academic writing (especially in APA style), the formatting where the first line of a reference entry is left - aligned and subsequent lines are indented (one - half inch) is known as hanging indentation. "Seriated indentation" and "uneven indentation" are not the correct terms for this formatting.

In a reference list (e.g., in APA format), the reference list is alphabetized by the authors' last names. Authors' first names are not the basis for alphabetizing, and titles of books or articles are not used for alphabetizing the reference list.

Plagiarism is defined as using someone else's work (ideas, words, etc.) without proper attribution. Failure to properly cite a source means that the source is not attributed correctly, which is considered plagiarism.

Answer:

c. hanging indentation.
