Answer

Brief Explanations:

According to MLA guidelines for citing a book, the correct format is: Author's Last Name, First Name. Book Title. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium (e.g., Print).

  • In the first option, the publisher and place of publication are in the wrong order.
  • In the second option, the year is misplaced.
  • In the third option, the book title should be italicized (though in the given options it's not clear if that's a formatting oversight in the problem's display; but also the structure is off).
  • The fourth option follows the correct MLA structure: Author (Slevin, Mia), Book Title (Harvesting Hope), Place of Publication (Chicago), Publisher (Shoreline Press), Year (1998), Medium (Print).

Answer:

The fourth option: Slevin, Mia. Harvesting Hope. Chicago: Shoreline Press, 1998. Print.
