Explanation:

In MLA format, works cited pages are ordered alphabetically by the author's last name. The last names here are Gregor, Cayman, Tudor, and Diaz. Alphabetically, "Cayman" (option b) comes after "Diaz", "Gregor" comes after "Cayman"? Wait, no—wait, alphabetical order: Diaz (D), Gregor (G), Cayman (C), Tudor (T)? Wait, no, let's list the last names: Diaz (D), Gregor (G), Cayman (C), Tudor (T). Wait, alphabetical order starts with A, B, C, D... Wait, no: C (Cayman) comes before D (Diaz), G (Gregor), T (Tudor)? Wait, no, the last names: Cayman (C), Diaz (D), Gregor (G), Tudor (T). Wait, no, the options:

a. Gregor (G)

b. Cayman (C)

c. Tudor (T)

d. Diaz (D)

Alphabetical order by last name: Cayman (C) is first, then Diaz (D), then Gregor (G), then Tudor (T). Wait, no, C comes before D, G, T. So Cayman (b) would be first? Wait, no, wait the last names:

Cayman (C), Diaz (D), Gregor (G), Tudor (T). So in alphabetical order, the first would be Cayman? Wait, no, let's check the letters: C (Cayman) is before D (Diaz), G (Gregor), T (Tudor). So the correct order starts with Cayman? Wait, no, wait the options:

Wait the question is which should be listed first. Let's list the last names:

Option a: Gregor (G)

Option b: Cayman (C)

Option c: Tudor (T)

Option d: Diaz (D)

Alphabetical order: C (Cayman) comes before D (Diaz), G (Gregor), T (Tudor). So the first one should be Cayman, which is option b? Wait, no, wait I think I made a mistake. Wait, the last names: Cayman (C), Diaz (D), Gregor (G), Tudor (T). So in alphabetical order, the order is Cayman, Diaz, Gregor, Tudor. So the first one is Cayman (option b). Wait, but let's confirm: MLA works cited is alphabetical by author's last name. So last names:

Cayman (C)

Diaz (D)

Gregor (G)

Tudor (T)

So the first entry should be Cayman, which is option b. Wait, but wait the original works cited draft: the entries are Gregor, Cayman, Tudor, Diaz. But according to MLA, they should be ordered alphabetically. So the correct first entry would be Cayman (option b), then Diaz, then Gregor, then Tudor. Wait, no, wait Diaz is D, which comes after C (Cayman). So yes, Cayman (b) should be first. Wait, but let me check again. The last names:

Cayman (C)

Diaz (D)

Gregor (G)

Tudor (T)

So alphabetical order: C, D, G, T. So the first is Cayman (option b). So the answer is b.

Answer:

b. Cayman, Felicia. The Windmill Way. Topeka: Heart of America Press, 2010.
