Which term refers to the end-of-paper listing of sources formatted according to MLA guidelines?

• A. Works Cited
• B. In-text Citation
• C. Bibliographic Citation
• D. Chicago Manual of Style

Answer: (A)

The end-of-paper listing of sources formatted according to MLA guidelines is called the Works Cited page. It appears at the end of your paper and provides full publication details for every source you actually cited in the text, all formatted in MLA style. This page is separate from in-text citations, which appear inside the paper to point readers to the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page. While “bibliographic citation” is a general term, MLA uses the specific label Works Cited for this end-of-paper list. The Chicago Manual of Style is a different style system, not the MLA end-list. The Works Cited page is typically organized alphabetically by the author’s last name and follows MLA formatting rules for each entry.
