Which style is associated with endnotes and footnotes in addition to a bibliography?

• A. MLA Style
• B. APA Style
• C. Chicago Manual of Style
• D. Works Cited

Answer: (C)

Using notes or endnotes along with a bibliography is a hallmark of Chicago style in its notes-bibliography system. In this approach, you place a superscript number in the text and provide a corresponding footnote at the bottom of the page or an endnote at the end of the document with the full citation. A separate bibliography at the end lists all sources referenced. This combination—notes (footnotes or endnotes) plus a bibliography—is what distinguishes Chicago’s notes-bibliography style, especially in humanities writing. By contrast, APA relies on in-text citations with a reference list, and MLA uses parenthetical citations tied to a Works Cited page. Chicago also offers an author-date variant that uses in-text citations and a reference list, but without the frequent footnotes or endnotes that are central to the notes-bibliography system.
