Just as the quiz questions are individually numbered and separated, so, too, should your quiz responses be individually numbered and separated. Simply put the number "1." before the first question and type your response, no matter if it's a paragraph-length response to a subjective question or not; press "Enter" to go to the next question, and begin it with the corresponding number.

Start practicing citations now via your subjective quiz question responses (those answered in paragraph form). Any textual examples given, give a proper MLA parenthetical citation with the page number the info is taken from. If you use someone else's words/wording, put it in quotation marks and cite; if you use someone else's ideas in your own words, cite it.**
