Let's analyze the provided citation using MLA format:

  1. Author: Langford, Dorothy. (Correct)

    • The format is correct as the last name is followed by the first name.

  2. Book Title: "Businesses Going Green." (Incorrect)

    • The title should be in italics if it is a book title. If this is an article, then the format is correct, but it seems inconsistent with "Selected House," which implies it's a periodical or a collection.

  3. Publisher: Selected House (Incorrect)

    • In MLA style, the publisher of the book (or periodical) should be identified. If "Selected House" is indeed the magazine name, then this component is actually correct for an article.

  4. Date of Publication: Sept. 2022 (Correct)

    • This is correctly formatted with the month abbreviated.

  5. Pages: pp. 47–55 (Correct)

    • This format is correct in stating the page range for an article within a magazine.

So the evaluations would be:

  • Author: Correct
  • Book Title: Incorrect (may be fine if this is an article title)
  • Publisher: Incorrect (if "Selected House" is identified as a magazine, it would be correct)
  • Date of Publication: Correct
  • Pages: Correct

If assuming “Selected House” is the title of the magazine/journal, the issues might relate to proper identification of components considering the type of source.
