Final answer:
The claim regarding the Works Cited page is false. Alphabetization of a Works Cited page should exclude leading articles like 'A', 'An', or 'The' when listing titles for entries with unknown authors according to MLA format.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is false. When creating a Works Cited page, you should alphabetize your entries by authors' last names. If the author is unknown, titles of works are used and you should exclude leading articles such as 'A', 'An', or 'The' for alphabetization purposes.
For example, the title "The Great Gatsby" would be listed under 'G' for 'Great'. Consequently, entries should begin flush with the left margin, subsequent lines are to be indented, and the page should be double-spaced to conform to proper MLA format.
When capitalizing titles in the Works Cited page, remember to capitalize the first and last words of the title and subtitle, as well as other important words, but do not capitalize articles, coordinating conjunctions, or prepositions unless they are the first or last word of the title or subtitle.
For a signal phrase or parenthetical citation, when the author's name is not known, use a shortened version of the title, ensuring that articles are placed in quotation marks and book titles are italicized.
