norman howard is the publisher.

Explanation:

In a Works Cited entry, the publisher is typically listed after the title of the work (in this case, "I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place"). Here, "Houghton Mifflin Harcourt" appears in that position, while "Howard Norman" is the author (as names in Works Cited usually follow the "Last, First" format for authors). The option "Norman Howard is the publisher" misidentifies the author's name and role. So, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is the publisher.

Answer:

B. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is the publisher. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A being "Howard Norman is the publisher", B being "Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is the publisher", and C being "Norman Howard is the publisher" as per the context. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly, but based on the content, the correct statement is that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is the publisher.)
