Explanation / Answer
1.Writers do not have to give credit to an outside source if they did not quote the source directly, as in a paraphrase or summary. It is true.
A Paraphrase or summary is created by just reading the outside source and then writing the paraphrase or summary in your own words from memory and not looking at the source.if it is a paraphrase or summary and not the exact source data you just mention the source and need not pay for including it.

Other than MLA there are styles like APA that are also used for documenting outside sources.
3.Indent the first line of works cited entry and place subsequent lines on the left-hand margin, just like paragraph formatting.It is false
when including work citations Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 0.5 inches to create a hanging indent. this is the correct format.

in parenthetical citations only a short title is necessary when there is more than one work by the same author
