What is the purpose of APA citation style?

To provide an authoritative source for referencing
To add credibility to the writer's argument
To improve the writer's argument
To signal the end of a document

The correct answer is: To provide an authoritative source for referencing

APA citation style serves as a standardized format for citing and referencing sources in academic writing. It allows the reader to easily locate and verify the information used by the writer and also ensures that proper credit is given to the original sources. While options B and C may indirectly apply to the purpose of APA citation style, they are not the main reasons for its implementation. Option D is incorrect as it refers to the use of a cover page or back page, which is not specific to APA citation style.
