Solution & Explanation:This database audio source needs creator, track title, album container, label/year, then the database as a second container plus URL and access date. Option A includes these elements.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which approach best represents the containers?

AList only ScienceNet; Space Desk is unnecessary

BList Space Desk as the site (container) and ScienceNet as a second container/parent site if your teacher requires it

CList neither; only the URL matters

DPut ScienceNet in quotation marks

Solution & Explanation:When sources have nested containers, you can list the immediate site (Space Desk) and the parent network (ScienceNet) if your assignment expects that level of detail.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

What is the best MLA-lite handling of the missing date?

AInvent a date based on comments

BUse n.d. (no date) or omit the date, then include the URL

CDelete the author name

DReplace the date with your access date only, with no label

Solution & Explanation:Do not invent information. If a date is missing, MLA-lite commonly uses n.d. (or omits the date) while keeping the creator, title, platform, and URL.
