① this question requires at least 3 answers.

Explanation:

Correct MLA web citation structure is: Author Last, First. "Article Title." Website Title. Publisher, Date of Publication. Web. Date of Access. We check each entry against this:

1. The first entry (Hallengren) follows the order: Author, Article Title, Website Title, Publisher (n.d. = no date), Access Date.
2. The second entry (History Channel) follows: Article Title, Website Title, Publisher, Access Date.
3. The fifth entry (A&E) follows: Article Title, Website Title, Publisher (n.d.), Access Date.

The CNN entry swaps access/publication dates, and The Economist entry has incorrect ordering of dates and titles.
