what additional information is needed for each book entry to follow mla guidelines?

• a word describing the medium
• a description of the books circulation
• the month and day the book was read
• the number of pages in the book

Explanation:

Analyze the current citation format

The rough draft entries follow the format:
Author Last, First. Title of Book. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication.
This is the standard format for MLA 7th edition, but it lacks the medium of publication (e.g., "Print" or "Web") at the end of each entry.

Evaluate the given options

• "a word describing the medium": MLA 7th edition guidelines require specifying the medium of publication (such as "Print") at the end of each book entry.
• "a description of the book's circulation": Not required by MLA.
• "the month and day the book was read": Not required by MLA.
• "the number of pages in the book": Not required for a whole book citation in MLA.

Determine the correct choice

The missing element required to complete these MLA entries is a word describing the medium of publication.

Answer:

• a word describing the medium (Correct answer)
• a description of the book's circulation
• the month and day the book was read
• the number of pages in the book
