Question 3

Double space&#10;A)everything except the space between references.&#10;B)everything except the space after a heading.&#10;C)everything.&#10;D)everything except the space between the title and your name.

Accepted Answer

Double spacing means adding an extra blank line between each line of text. This is typically used to make the text easier to read and to allow room for handwritten notes or corrections. It is generally recommended to double space everything in a paper, including between headings and paragraphs, after headings, after titles, and between references.

Question 4

Type the title in&#10;A)bold print.&#10;B)italics.&#10;C)the font that is used in the rest of the paper.&#10;D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

The title should match the font of the rest of the paper to ensure consistency and professionalism.

Question 5

A good title&#10;A)begins with the words &#34;A Study of.&#34;&#10;B)contains abbreviations to save space.&#10;C)identifies the relationship among variables.&#10;D)is the shortest title.

Accepted Answer

A title that identifies the relationship among variables is the best choice as it gives readers a clear idea of what the study is about and what aspects will be explored. This can increase the reader's interest and motivation to read the article. Beginning with "A Study of" is not necessary, and abbreviations may not be clear or universal, so it's best to avoid them. The shortest title may not convey the necessary information and could be too vague.

Question 6

After a comma, use&#10;A)one space.&#10;B)no spaces.&#10;C)two spaces.&#10;D)whatever looks best.

Accepted Answer

One space after a comma is the modern convention and is recommended by most style guides, including the Associated Press Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style. It creates a visually pleasing and easy-to-read text. The use of two spaces after a comma is an outdated practice and can create uneven spacing in a paragraph. No spaces after a comma can make the text look cramped, and it can be harder to distinguish between words and phrases. Therefore, using one space after a comma is the best choice, as it is easy on the eyes and consistent with modern writing practices.

Question 7

Your name&#10;A)is one double space below the title.&#10;B)goes after the word by.&#10;C)goes on every page.&#10;D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

According to the standard formatting guidelines, the name should be one double space below the title. It does not come after the word "by" and does not need to be on every page.

Question 8

A title has&#10;A)10 words or fewer.&#10;B)15 words or fewer.&#10;C)12 words or fewer.&#10;D)no restriction on length.

Accepted Answer

A title is typically shorter and more attention-grabbing if it is kept to 12 words or fewer. This helps ensure that readers will quickly understand what the article, book, or piece of content is about without getting bogged down in too many words. A title that is too long can also be difficult to remember or share with others, whereas a shorter title is more likely to be memorable and easy to recall.
