Explanation

You include a URL when the website or web page is difficult to find using the citation's information. This is because including a URL allows readers to easily access the source material, especially if the website or web page is not easily searchable or may be taken down in the future. Additionally, you include a URL when your instructor requires you to include a URL, as it is important to follow their specific guidelines for citing sources.
