So.. I'm no expert on this, but here's what Google says: "Quotation marks also set off the titles of things that do not normally stand by themselves: short stories, poems, and articles. Usually, a quotation is set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma; however, the typography of quoted material can become quite complicated."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, a few others could be correct in certain circumstances, but yes, d is a definite correct usage.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

So... Short stories, poems, and articles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There should be a comma before "Stone Fox" though.

OpenStudy (chpatterson):

i knew it

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome!

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

I honestly would have went with C, as it's a short story, but like I said, I'm no expert.

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

lol brb

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

I know it's too late, but here's why I say C while all of you say D: The source said "short stories, poems, and articles." So A is a painting... That doesn't qualify. B is a play... That also doesn't qualify. C is a short story... That qualifies. D is a book... That doesn't qualify.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Buuuuuut yolo I guess.
