Question 9

In APA style, the sentence case for reference titles capitalizes the first word of the title, proper nouns, and the first word after a colon (or other final punctuation). Option D matches this rule: it includes the first word in the reference, proper nouns, and the first word after final punctuation. Option A is incorrect as it only considers the first word. Option B is incorrect as it includes journal titles and publishers in a way that doesn't align with APA sentence case. Option C is incorrect as it focuses on book - specific elements (book title, author, publisher) rather than the general sentence case rule for reference titles.

In APA in - text citation, when there are three or more authors, the standard practice is to use the first author's surname followed by "et al." along with the year of publication. Option A is incorrect as it lists all authors which is not the APA standard for three or more authors. Option B is incorrect as it lists multiple authors instead of using "et al." Option D is incorrect as it is missing the year of publication. Option C follows the APA rule for citing three or more authors in - text: (Author1 et al., Year).

Answer:

D. First word in the reference, proper nouns, and first word after a final punctuation.
