O’Neil, Ryan. “Strategies for Young Investors.” Finance Weekly 1 August 2009: 33-35. Print.
O’Neil, Ryan: “Strategies for Young Investors.” Finance Weekly August 1, 2009: 33-35.

Answer 1

The correctly formatted citation for a magazine article using MLA guidelines is:

O’Neil, Ryan. “Strategies for Young Investors.” Finance Weekly, 1 Aug. 2009, pp. 33-35. Print.

However, since this exact option is not provided among your choices, the closest choice that aligns with MLA formatting is:

O’Neil, Ryan. “Strategies for Young Investors.” Finance Weekly 1 August 2009: 33-35.

Although it lacks the comma before the publication date and the "pp." before the page range, it's the most accurate in terms of author-name order and article title presentation compared to the other options. For an exact MLA style citation, you would revise it as noted above.
