Kyle James · Answer 2

The correct structure to cite a book is Last name + First Name + Middle Name + Book + City + Publisher + Year Published + Print. By following this structure the correct answer is A where we can see that Last name = Dunbar, First Name = Paul, Middle Name = Laurence, Book = Encyclopedia of American Writers, Publisher = Wong, Samantha Year = 2002.

The other options don't follow this structure which makes them incorrect.
