Question

Anthony is writing a research paper about healthy eating, and this is one entry on his works cited page.

Adams, Ruth. “Eat Apples.” The Journal of Nutrition 222 (2011): 26-31. Print.

What does “222” represent?

the page of the source that Anthony used
the issue number of the source
the date the source was published
the title of the article

Answer 1

It’s the journal’s volume number (the volume in which the article appeared).
(If you must pick from the provided choices, "the issue number of the source" is the closest, though technically that term is incorrect.)
