Question

Which of the following is correct APA style for the reference list of a college essay?


The References section should be separated from the last line of the essay by two double spaces.


The word “Reference(s)” should be centered and italicized.


Each citation should be single spaced. Citations should be separated by a double space.


The word “Reference(s)” should be centered and each citation should have a hanging indent.

Answer 1

The last option. In APA the reference list heading ("References") is centered (not italicized), the list starts on a new page, and each entry uses a hanging indent and is double‑spaced (entries are listed alphabetically with no extra blank lines).
