Final answer:

Aldous Huxley should appear first on the Works Cited page because, when listed alphabetically by last name, 'Huxley' comes before 'Marx', 'Price', and 'Taylor'.

Step-by-step explanation:

When organizing a Works Cited page in MLA format, sources should be listed alphabetically by the author's last name. According to MLA guidelines, you should ignore articles such as 'a', 'an', and 'the' when alphabetizing. In this case, the authors to consider are Price, Marx, Taylor, and Huxley. When we arrange these names alphabetically by last name, the correct order is Huxley, Marx, Price, then Taylor.

Aldous Huxley would be the first author on the Works Cited page among the given options. Thus, the correct answer to the question is D. Huxley, Aldous.
