Answer 1

B) because it is a newspaper article

Quotation marks go around the title of a short work. Long works are underlined. For example, poems, short stories, and songs are all in quotation marks. Books and album titles are underlined. This source is an article. We can tell because the magazine is called the Hampton Gazette. There is also an edition number in the source citation - E8. These clues tell us it is an article.
