Which forms of literature should have their titles underlined or italicized? Select all that apply.

Question

plays

movies

short stories

novels

Answer 1

In terms of formatting titles, the following forms of literature should be italicized:

• Plays (titles of plays are italicized)
• Movies (titles of movies are italicized)
• Novels (titles of novels are italicized)

Short stories, on the other hand, should have their titles placed in quotation marks, rather than italicized or underlined.

So, the correct selections for italicization would be:

• plays
• movies
• novels

Short stories should be cited differently.
