Grade: 41/50 Name: JGibson
The correct file name is: JGibson.Unit6.Secondary
I corrected your cover page – all I had to do was center the five lines on the cover page and delete some spacing between the lines.

    A health concern involving the quality of drinking water in our community has been brought to our attention. The Safe Drinking Water Act (42 USC § 300f), was passed by Congress in 1974 to protect public health by regulating the nation’s drinking water supply. In 1986 and 1996 the law was amended and required many actions to protect drinking water and the sources of drinking water such as rivers, lakes and ground water wells. The Safe Drinking Water Act authorizes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to set national standards for drinking water to protect people against both natural and man-made contaminants that can be found in drinking water. Because of the Safe Drinking Water Act, America's drinking water is safer than ever before.…

    The manuscript does conform to APA style in its major aspects. Each page of the journal does contain a page header; however it alternates with the author’s name and the title of the publication. All information is cited correctly using footnotes. The structural differences in which the paper deviates from APA style is the lack of a Title Page, and variation in formatting. Instead of the four major sections being shown as Title Page, Abstract, Main Body and References, the paper is organized as a Research study in the format of Introduction, Background, Aims, research questions and hypothesis, Method, Analysis, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References.…
