Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • For website citations in MLA format (common in academic writing related to various fields like Social Science, Arts etc. which involve research and citations), the general format is: Author's Last name, First name. "Title of the Page." Name of the Website, Publisher (if applicable), Publication Date (if known), URL (if required in some cases, but here we assume basic elements). Also, the "Web." is for indicating the medium (webpage) and then the access date.
  • In the first option "Singh, Ajay: Grow a Greener Garden. 10 June 2009. Urban Harvesters. 15 June 2013", the colon after the author's name is incorrect (should be a period).
  • The second option "Greene, Tom. Home Composting. Hanover Growers Guild, 15 March 2010. Web. 22 April 2011" follows the correct MLA - like format (author, title, publisher, publication date, medium, access date).
  • The third option "Schultz, Renee. Monitoring Seed Germination. Chesterfield County Agricultural Extension: 27 February 2010. Web" has an incorrect colon after the publisher (should be a period).
  • The fourth option "Lee, Kim. Stake Your Tomatoes. Future Farmers of America, n.d. Web. 24 June 2012" is correct. "n.d." (no date) is used when the publication date is unknown, and then medium and access date follow.
  • The fifth option "Lawson, Jennifer. Put Down the Pesticides. Organic Advocates, 31 May 2013. Web. 3 January 2014" follows the correct format (author, title, publisher, publication date, medium, access date).
