which magazine article citation is written correctly in mla style?
○ “you’ve come a long way, wes.” david brewster. seattle. sept. 1970: 34 - 45. print.
○ you’ve come a long way, wes. brewster, david. seattle. sept. 1970: 34 - 45. print.
○ brewster, david. “you’ve come a long way, wes.” seattle. sept. 1970: 34 - 45. print.
○ brewster, david. “you’ve come a long way, wes.” seattle. sept. 1970: 34 - 45. print.

Explanation:

In MLA style, a magazine article citation format is: Author's Last Name, First Name. "Article Title." Magazine Title, Publication Date, Page Range. Medium. Here, the correct format is followed by "Brewster, David. "You've Come a Long Way, Wes." Seattle. Sept. 1970: 34 - 45. Print." (assuming "Seattle" is the magazine title here). The first option has the title in quotes first then author, incorrect. The second option has the article title without quotes (should be in quotes) and author after title, incorrect. The third and fourth (same) follow the correct order: author, article title in quotes, magazine title, date, page range, medium.

Answer:

Brewster, David. "You've Come a Long Way, Wes." Seattle. Sept. 1970: 34-45. Print.
