Answer 1

The correct answer based on the provided statements about the place of publication is:

**A. i, ii, iv**

Here's the reasoning:

- **i.** True, as typically only the town or city is included in the reference, not the country.
- **ii.** True, if more than one place is mentioned, the first two are usually provided.
- **iii.** This statement is generally true in some citation styles (like APA) but not universally accepted. However, many citation styles do recommend providing the place in its original language.
- **iv.** True, if no place can be found, "S.I." is used to denote "sine loco," which means "without a place."

Thus, options **A** accurately reflects the considerations for the place of publication in references.
