To insert a bibliography, which control sequence should you use?

• A. References tab > Citations & Bibliography group > Bibliography button; In the Bibliography menu, choose Bibliography.
• B. References tab > Citations & Bibliography group > Style dropdown, click Bibliography button; In the Bibliography menu, choose Bibliography.
• C. Insert tab > Bibliography > Create Bibliography.
• D. Home tab > References > Bibliography.

Answer: (B)

Setting the citation style first is essential because Word formats both in-text citations and the bibliography to match that style. In the References tab, pick your desired style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) from the Style dropdown. Then use the Bibliography button in the Citations & Bibliography group and choose the bibliography format you want (Bibliography). This sequence ensures the inserted bibliography uses the correct formatting for the selected style. Other paths involve the wrong tab or skip selecting the style, which can lead to mismatches in formatting.
