If a student were writing a paper about genetics in major league baseball and wanted to use a quote from the chapter "Beat by an Underhand Girl" from David Epstein's book, The Sports Gene, how would she correctly cite it in her Works Cited page?

Epstein, David. "Beat by an Underhand Girl." The Sports Gene. Penguin Group, 2013.

"Beat by an Underhand Girl." Epstein, David. National Public Radio. 2013.

Epstein, David. National Public Radio. 2013. "Beat by an Underhand Girl." Penguin Group. 2013.

The Sports Gene. Epstein, David. pp. 1-11. Penguin Group. 2013.

Answer: The correct way of citing is: Epstein, David. "Beat by an Underhand Girl." The Sports Gene. Penguin Group, 2013.

Explanation: Rules state that the correct way of citing in the Works Cited page is first writing the author's last name and then his/her first name. After this, the title of the book from which the information was taken must be included. However, if there is a particular chapter from which this piece of information comes, the chapter must come first and then the title of the book. What must follow this is the name of the publishing house. Finally, the date of publication must be added at the end of the citation. In that way, the only option that presents the correct way of citing is the first one: Epstein, David. "Beat by an Underhand Girl." The Sports Gene. Penguin Group, 2013.

The answer is:

Epstein, David. "Beat by an Underhand Girl." The Sports Gene. Penguin Group, 2013.

When writing references, the surname and name or initials of the author goes first. Next the title of the chapter within quotation marks, followed by the name of the book, publisher and year.
