Accepted Answer

This option is correct because it has the correct punctuation and capitalization. The comma is placed correctly before the ampersand and there is no extra period at the end. Also, it follows the correct APA citation format.

Question 3

Items in the References section should be formatted with
A)a hanging indent.
B)an automatic indent.
C)the right justify command.
D)sparkles.

Accepted Answer

Items in the References section should be formatted with a hanging indent, where the first line is flush with the left margin and subsequent lines are indented. This helps to clearly separate each reference and make it easier to read.

Question 4

When referencing a work by three authors in the body of the paper,
A)use all of their names every time.
B)use only the first author followed by et al.every time.
C)use all of their names the first time, and then after that use only the first author followed by et al.
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

It is customary to use all the authors' names in the first citation in a paper. However, in subsequent citations, use only the first author followed by et al.

Question 5

Which is correct?
A)People have been shown to be alive (Smith and Jones, 2012).
B)People have been shown to be alive (Smith, and Jones, 2012).
C)People have been shown to be alive (Smith & Jones, 2012).
D)People have been shown to be alive (Smith, & Jones, 2012).

Accepted Answer

In APA style, when citing two authors, their last names should be separated with an ampersand (&). Therefore, choice C is the correct option.

Question 6

For direct quotations,
A)cite the page number of the source.
B)use block format for 40 words or more.
C)use double rather than single quotation marks.
D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. Citing the page number is necessary for accurately attributing the source. Using block format for longer quotes makes it easier to read and distinguishes it from the rest of the text. Double quotation marks are standard in most citation styles for indicating a direct quote.

D)Children can be taught to swim (Jones, 2011; 2012; Sharkey, 2000, Whale et al., 1996).

Accepted Answer

In APA citation style, when citing multiple works by the same author, the citations should be ordered chronologically, starting with the earliest publication. Therefore, "Jones, 2011, 2012" is the correct format, making option A the correct choice.

Question 11

Which is correct?
A)Rynes, S.L., & Shapiro, D.L.(2005).Public policy in the public interest: What if we mattered more? Academy of Management Journal, 48, 925-927.

D)Rynes, S.L., & Shapiro, D.L.(2005).Public policy in the public interest: What if we mattered more? Academy of management journal, 48, 925-927..

Accepted Answer

This is the correct citation format according to the APA style guidelines. It includes the correct use of commas between author names, as well as the inclusion of page numbers for the specific chapter being cited.

Question 13

After commas and periods,
A)leave no space.
B)leave two spaces.
C)leave one space.
D)leave the space that looks best.

Accepted Answer

Modern typesetting and word processing software automatically adjust the spacing appropriately within a body of text. The convention of using two spaces after a period is a remnant of the typewriter era and is no longer necessary or recommended. Therefore, leaving one space after commas and periods is the current standard in typography.

Question 14

Which is correct?
A)According to Smith and Jones (2012),
B)According to Smith, and Jones (2012),
C)According to Smith, & Jones (2012),
D)According to Smith & Jones (2012),

Accepted Answer

In APA style, "and" is used in the narrative citation, so "According to Smith and Jones (2012)," is correct.

Question 15

Which is correct?
A)Szuchman, L.T.(2013).Writing with style: APA style made easy.Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Cengage Learning.
B)Szuchman, L.T.(2013).Writing With Style: APA Style Made Easy.Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Cengage Learning.

A)reorganize so that the author is first for both publications.
B)alphabetize the entries on your list according to the first author's name for each publication.
C)put the earliest publication first on your list.
D)put the latest publication first on your list.

Accepted Answer

When citing multiple works by the same author, the correct approach is to organize the entries alphabetically by the first author's last name for each publication, regardless of the order of authors in different works. This ensures consistency and clarity in the reference list.

Question 17

When you use material from the Internet, when do you include the retrieval date?
A)never
B)when you also have a DOI
C)whenever you have a URL
D)when the source may change over time

Accepted Answer

When the source may change over time, such as with websites, it is important to include the retrieval date in your citation. This allows your readers to know when you accessed the information and ensures that they can find the information even if the source has been updated or changed. The other options (A, B, and C) do not necessarily require the inclusion of a retrieval date.

Question 18

Which is correct?
A)Oggins, J.& Sammis, J.(2012).Notions of video game addiction and their relation to self-reported addiction among players of World of Warcraft.International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, 12, 210-230.doi: 10.1007/s11469-010-9309-y

C)Oggins, J., & Sammis, J.(2012).Notions of video game addiction and their relation to self-reported addiction among players of World of Warcraft.International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, 12, 210-230.doi: 10.1007/s11469-010-9309-y

Accepted Answer

The comma after "J." is necessary to indicate that "Sammis" is a separate author and not a middle initial for "J." The other choices either have an extra comma or no comma at all, which would suggest that "Sammis" is a middle initial. Therefore, choice C is the correct format.

Question 19

Which is correct?
A)Szuchman (2013) claimed that her book was "both a rule book and a workbook," .
B)Szuchman (2013) claimed that her book was "both a rule book and a workbook" (p.4).
C)Szuchman (2013) claimed that her book was "both a rule book and a workbook." .
D)Szuchman (2013) claimed that her book was "both a rule book and a workbook ."

Accepted Answer

Option B is the correct format for citing a direct quote from a source. It includes the author's name, year of publication, page number, and the punctuation marks for the quotation. Options A, C, and D all have inconsistent punctuation marks or missing page numbers.

A)reference it as if you read it in the journal.

Accepted Answer

You should reference the PDF version of the article as if you read it in the journal, including the author(s), title, journal name, volume number, issue number, page numbers, and publication year. This will provide a complete and accurate reference for your readers, even if they do not have access to the PDF version of the article.
