I'm thinking B: Who painted "Starry Night," Van Gogh or Cezanne?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I can't see what's in italics.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Champagne, you can't give direct answers, and how would you think that if you don't know what words are in italics?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and D have italics

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Yes, but what words are italicized?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

What words on A and D are cursive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A : Winter Time D : Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

No need to fear! Kyan The Doodle is here! Hm...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lol

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Now do you have any idears?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is D

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well that depends. Is "in" in italics?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well that's actually very important. If it is, then it's not it. If it isn't, then I think it's the right answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.....

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Is there any way to find out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is A

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Perhaps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really think its B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it's D. Book titles are usually italics. Short works are usually in quotations, so I'm afraid A isn't likely. Painting titles should be italics, so B is wrong as well. Things like plays and operas are shorter and less likely to be italics. Your best bet is definitely D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you 100% sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. All book titles have to be italics. Alice in Wonderland is not a short novel, and I don't expect your course to be super specific about italicizing the in. It specifically says book, so I'd go with D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okthx can you help me with a couple more plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try :)
