Which instruction describes starting a reference with a lowercase letter?

• A. Start with a capital letter in front of every reference
• B. Start with a lower case letter in front of every reference, even if just one
• C. Place references at the end of the line
• D. Use upper-case for all references

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how capitalization signals the way a reference begins. The best instruction is to start with a lower case letter in front of every reference, even if there’s only one. This directly describes the required formatting rule, ensuring every reference consistently starts with a lowercase letter. The other statements either require uppercase, change where the reference appears, or apply uppercase to all references, which would not match the specified lowercase rule.
