Which option should be underlined when it is handwritten one piece of paper?
the name of the channel a television show is on
the title of an episode of a television show
the title of a television show
When hand-writing information, underlining is used as a way to denote titles of larger works or important standalone pieces, similar to how you would use italics when typing.
Out of the options you've provided, the title of a television show should be underlined when handwritten. This is because the television show title is the larger work that can contain many episodes.
Here's how you would treat each item:
- The name of the channel a television show is on: This should not be underlined. It is simply a factual piece of information, not a title.
- The title of an episode of a television show: This is typically not underlined, but instead placed in quotation marks when handwritten to indicate it is a smaller work within a larger work (the larger work being the TV show itself).
- The title of a television show: This should be underlined, denoting it as the main work.
For example:
- You watched the show on **NBC** (not underlined).
- Your favorite episode is “The One with the Monkey” (quotation marks used).
- You love watching **Friends** (title of TV show underlined).
