1. What is the proper line spacing for a MLA report?

Explanation

The proper line spacing for a MLA report is double. This means that there should be two lines of space between each line of text. Double spacing is commonly used in academic writing to make the text easier to read and to allow for annotations or comments to be added between the lines. It also helps to create a more professional and polished look for the report.
