Which best describes the citation?
The citation is not punctuated correctly.
The citation is written in correct MLA style.
The citation does not need to cite the year.
The citation does not need to cite the city.

Answer 1

The citation is not punctuated correctly.

In MLA style, the information should be formatted with specific punctuation and order. For example, the publisher's city is not typically required in modern MLA format, and there should be periods separating some of the elements rather than commas. The correct MLA citation format for this source would look something like this:

Jones, Adam. Government and Justice in Ancient Rome. Liberty Press, 2011. Print.
