    • Any way you like!

    Correct Answer
    A. Alphabetically by author's last name
    Explanation
    The reference list should be ordered alphabetically by the author's last name. This allows for easy navigation and retrieval of sources, as well as maintaining a consistent and organized format. It also helps in locating specific references quickly and efficiently.

    True or False: The reference list goes on a separate page.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The reference list is a separate page that is included at the end of a research paper or academic document. It provides a comprehensive list of all the sources that were cited or consulted during the writing process. By placing the reference list on a separate page, it allows readers to easily locate and access the sources used in the document. This also helps to maintain the organization and structure of the paper, making it easier for readers to navigate and verify the information provided.

    True or False: If a quotation is more than 25 words, it should be included in a separate section without quotation marks.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False. If a quotation is more than 25 words, it should be indented and included in the main text with double spacing, without quotation marks. This helps to visually separate the quotation from the rest of the text and indicates that it is a longer quote.

    Explanation
    The piece of information that needs a citation is "7.3% of people in Calgary can speak both English and French fluently." This statistic is a specific claim about the language abilities of the population in Calgary, and without a citation or a reliable source, it is difficult to verify the accuracy of this information.

    The statement "Apple is considered to be the most trusted phone company in the world" needs a citation because it is a subjective claim that requires evidence or a reliable source to support it. Trustworthiness is a subjective measure and can vary depending on individual opinions and experiences.
