Based on the MLA citation style and the provided entry, here’s the assessment for each component:

  • author: Correct
  • title of article: Incorrect (The title of the article should be in quotation marks, but "Invasively Inconvenient" is not correctly formatted as it appears to be incorrectly placed; the format here implies it may be the magazine title instead)

  • author: Correct
  • title of article: Incorrect

  • date of publication: Correct
