    The header of a MLA report contains the last name and page number. This information is typically included in the top right corner of each page to provide a consistent format and help readers navigate through the document. Including the last name helps identify the author of the report, while the page number allows readers to easily locate specific sections or references within the document.

The second line is the title of the paper, centered. The third line is left-aligned and includes the student's identification number. The fourth line is the page number, which is right-aligned.

    Explanation
    The MLA header is located in the top right corner of the page. This is where the author's last name and the page number are placed, typically in the header section of the document. The header is important in MLA style as it helps to identify the author and provides a reference point for citations within the text. Placing the header in the top right corner ensures consistency and uniformity in MLA formatted documents.

The purpose of the header is to provide a brief identification of the author and to aid in the organization and citation of the document. Therefore, the correct answer is "only one line."
