Proper Way to Cite a URL in MLA Style

What is the correct way to cite a URL in a works cited list according to MLA style?

Options:

A. Within slash marks

B. Within parentheses

C. Within dashes

D. Within angled brackets

Answer:

In the MLA style, URLs in the works cited list are typically placed within angled brackets after the rest of the citation.

According to the Modern Language Association (MLA) style, when citing a URL in a works cited list, it should be placed within angled brackets or parentheses. The most common method used is angled brackets.

This means after writing out the rest of the citation (author, title, etc.), include the full URL in angled brackets at the end of the citation. The URL should not be hyperlinked and should not include https://. If the URL needs to be broken up over multiple lines, it should only be broken after a slash or punctuation, not in the middle of text.

For example: Smith, John. "The Impact of Global Warming." Environmental Studies, 2019, www.environmentalstudies.com/globalwarming.

Remember not to include https:// in the URL. This ensures proper citation according to MLA guidelines.
