Question 6

To determine the correct font style and size for APA, we analyze each option:

• Option a: APA requires font accessibility and consistency, which is correct.
• Option b: Arial size 14 is not a strict APA requirement; APA allows any accessible font, not just Arial 14.
• Option c: APA does not mandate Times New Roman or Courier size 12 specifically; it allows flexibility as long as the font is accessible and consistent.

To find the difference between a header and a heading:

• Option a: A header is at the top of the page (outside margins, often with title/info), and a heading introduces a section in the body. This matches APA formatting.
• Option b: A header is not the title of the paper (the title is separate), so this is incorrect.
• Option c: Headers and headings are distinct, so this is wrong.

For APA stylistic concerns:

• Option a: Formatting is more about layout, not a core stylistic concern like the others.
• Option b: Point of view (e.g., avoiding first-person in some cases), clarity/conciseness, and word choice (precise, unbiased language) are key APA stylistic areas.
• Option c: References are about citations, not stylistic concerns, and eloquence is not a focus (clarity is).

Answer:

a. APA only requires that a font be accessible to all readers and used consistently throughout the paper.
