The sentence that uses italics or quotations correctly is: This magazine features an interesting article titled "Favorite Vacation Spots for Families". The correct answer is option A. The rule on quotation marks is applied to this because the titles of short works such as articles, songs, short stories, essays and poems should be quoted for emphasis. Long works such as movie titles, names of spacecrafts and book titles should be italicized.
