Which two of the following are true according to the documentation style prescribed by the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook?

A. If the title page of a book contains an imprint as well as the publisher’s name, omit the imprint and use the publisher’s name.
B. While giving a URL, copy it from the web browser but omit http:// or https://.
C. If a quotation extends to more than five lines, set it off from the text as block indented an inch from the left margin.
D. Long titles should be abbreviated using the first letter of key words typed in upper case without intervening space.

Correct option is A

Explanation:

1. A. If the title page of a book contains an imprint as well as the publisher’s name, omit the imprint and use the publisher’s name:
   This is correct as per MLA guidelines. The MLA Handbook specifies using the publisher's name and omitting additional imprints or unnecessary details.

2. B. While giving a URL, copy it from the web browser but omit http:// or https://:
   This is also accurate. The eighth edition of the MLA Handbook advises omitting "http://" or "https://" from URLs in citations, unless omitting it causes confusion.

Information Booster:

1. MLA style prioritizes simplicity and clarity in citations, focusing on essential information for locating sources.
2. URLs are included without "http://" or "https://", unless they are necessary for clarity.
3. Block quotations for prose start at 0.5-inch indentation, and only for quotes exceeding four lines.
4. Abbreviating titles in the manner described in D is not an MLA convention.

Additional Knowledge:

• C. If a quotation extends to more than five lines, set it off from the text as block indented an inch from the left margin:
  This is partially correct. The MLA style requires block quotations for prose exceeding four lines, not five, and the indentation is 0.5 inches from the left margin, not an inch.

• D. Long titles should be abbreviated using the first letter of key words typed in upper case without intervening space:
  This is incorrect. The MLA style does not use such abbreviations. Titles are shortened for in-text citations, but the method involves retaining meaningful parts of the title, not abbreviating with letters.
