To begin, let's restate the task in our own words: identify which option correctly follows the MLA citation format for a video, given the template Last name, First name of the creator or handle. “Title of the video.” Title of the website, Publication date, URL.
Option 1: AsapSCIENCE. “How much sleep you actually need?” TEDEd, 27 July 2014, https://ed.ted.com/featured/CZ0o3OZb#watch
- This option presents the creator as AsapSCIENCE, the video title in quotation marks, the website as TEDEd, and the date as 27 July 2014, followed by the URL. The date formatting uses a numeric day-month order with the month fully spelled, which aligns with MLA conventions for dates when listed after the publication name.
- The only potential quirk is whether the title of the website should be italicized (TEDEd in this context) and whether a comma should separate the date from the website title; however, MLA typically uses a comma after the video title and before the website name, and includes the date after the website name, matching this option.
Option 2: TEDEd. How much sleep do you actually need? 27 July 2014, https://ed.ted.com/featured/CZ0o3OZb#watch
- Here the creator is listed as TEDEd, which would be correct only if TEDEd is the author, but the template requires Last name, First name of the creator or handle, not a website name. It also places the video title without quotation marks, which is inconsistent with MLA’s use of quotation marks for video titles. The date is presented, but the order and formatting misalign with the required structure.
Option 3: AsapSCIENCE. “How much sleep do you actually need?” July 27th 2014, https://ed.ted.com/featured/CZ0o3OZb#watch
- This one uses AsapSCIENCE as the creator, and the video title is in quotation marks, which is correct. However, the date is written as July 27th 2014, which includes an ordinal suffix. MLA generally prefers a clean numeric date format (27 July 2014) without ordinal suffixes in bibliography entries, so this deviates from the standard.
Option 4: AsapSCIENCE. “How much sleep do you actually need?” TEDEd, July 27 2014, https://ed.ted.com/featured/CZ0o3OZb#watch
- This option correctly lists the creator and the video title in quotation marks. It includes TEDEd as the website name, which is acceptable. The date is written as July 27 2014 (without a comma after the month), but MLA typically uses the format 27 July 2014 (day before month, with month capitalized and year). The absence of a comma after the date could be considered a minor deviation depending on MLA style guide specifics.
In sum, option-by-option: Option 1 follows the overall structure of the MLA template and aligns with common MLA date formatting for this kind of citation, making it the most consistent choice among the four. Options 2 and 3 break the required author/format conventions in meaningful ways (author vs. website, and ordinal date formatting, respectively). Option 4 is close but has a date punctuation issue that could render it inconsistent with strict MLA rules.
