Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Simon, Paul. "Citations: MLA Style guidelines." A Student's Guide to Writing College Essays. Ed. May Brook. Orlando, FL: Sun–shine Publications, 2009. 55–78. Print.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the 8th edition of the MLA handbook, a work in an athology should be cited according to the following format:

• Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection, edited by Editor's Name(s), Publisher, Year, Page range of entry.

The only option that follows this format is D.

Although, A and B might seem similar, they are not naming the editor correctly, since the format "Last name, First name" is commonly used for authors.
