How do MLA and APA styles of citation differ?

Layout
Sources
Notes
Titles

The correct answer is: Layout

MLA and APA styles of citation both follow specific formatting rules for listing sources in a document. However, the main difference between the two styles is the layout or structure of the citations. MLA style uses in-text citations that point the reader to a Works Cited page at the end of the document, while APA style uses parenthetical citations and a References page. This means that in MLA style, the author's last name and page number are included in the in-text citation, while in APA style, the author's last name and year are listed. The choices B, C, and D may all be components included in the layout or structure of a citation, but they are not the main difference between MLA and APA styles.
