Explanation:

First Question ("When citing multiple authors, use:")

In academic citation, when there are multiple authors, "et al" (Latin for "and others") is used to abbreviate the list of authors after the first few. Initials, first names only, or full names always are not standard practices for citing multiple authors.

A journal citation typically includes the volume number (to identify the specific issue or set of issues). Editor names are more relevant for edited books, publisher location is for book citations, and table of contents is not part of a journal citation.

Paraphrasing is the act of restating ideas from a source in one's own words. Copying text exactly is plagiarism, quoting directly is using the source's exact words, and summarizing multiple sources is a different process (summarization of multiple sources vs. rephrasing a single source's ideas).

Answer:

a. Et al
