b) Put the entries in the order they appear in your paper
c) Use a hanging indent
d) Title the page Works Cited. That title should be capitalized, centered, in 12 point Times New Roman Font, not bolded or underlined.

Answer 1

The error on a works cited page is listing entries in the order they appear in the paper. Entries should be alphabetized by the author's last names and formatted with hanging indents and centered title Works Cited. So the correct answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

An error on a works cited page would be option b) Put the entries in the order they appear in your paper. This is incorrect because entries on a works cited page should not be listed in the order they appear in the paper; instead, they should be alphabetized by the authors' last names. Other formatting guidelines to follow for a correct works cited page include using hanging indents for each entry, the title Works Cited which should be centered and not bolded, underlined, or in quotation marks, and ensuring that all entries are double-spaced with one-inch margins on all sides.
