To answer the questions related to APA 6th Edition standards, you need to understand the guidelines for paraphrasing, quoting, and formatting the title page and the body of the paper. Here are the explanations for each question:
1. Each time you paraphrase content or ideas taken from the work of another author, you are required to...
A) Credit the source in the text and include the author(s) and year.
To paraphrase content, you need to rephrase the original text in your own words. When doing so, it is essential to provide credit to the original author. In APA 6th Edition, you should credit the source in the text by including the author(s) and year of publication. This can be done within parentheses or as part of the sentence itself. For example: (Smith, 2010) or "According to Smith (2010),..."
2. Each time you include the exact words of another in your composition, you are required to...
D) Place the words inside quotation marks and add the author(s), year, and paragraph number.
When directly quoting someone else's words, you need to enclose the quoted material in quotation marks. Additionally, in APA 6th Edition, you should include the author(s), year, and the specific location of the quote, such as paragraph number if available or page number for print sources. For example: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" (Smith, 2010, p. 25).
3. The required elements for the title page include:
A) Running head elements, page number, title of work, and institutional affiliation.
In APA 6th Edition, the title page should include a running head (a shortened version of the title) aligned to the left, page number aligned to the right, the full title of the work centered, and the institutional affiliation centered below the title. The author's name and course number are typically not required on the title page.
4. On the page following the title page where you will begin the body of your paper, the correct APA format is...
B) Running head, page number, title in upper and lower case, the heading intro, and intro paragraph.
In APA 6th Edition, the page following the title page is where the body of your paper starts. It should include a running head aligned left, page number aligned right, the title of your paper centered, the heading "Introduction" centered and bolded, and the introductory paragraph following the heading. The title should be in title case, which means the first letter of each major word is capitalized.
