Question
Choose the rightly punctuated sentence from the choices
given belowSolution
Answer: (b) She could see the wild animals just behind the fence: lions, tigers, elephants, and wolves. Explanation: This sentence is correctly punctuated by using a colon to introduce a list of items (lions, tigers, elephants, and wolves). The comma is also used correctly to separate the items in the list. Â (a) 1l meet you at 8 o'clock, said Michael. This sentence has an error in the use of the numeral "1" instead of the letter "I." The correct sentence would be: "I'll meet you at 8 o'clock," said Michael. Additionally, the punctuation is correct in this revised sentence. Â (c) Was the girls mother alone? The error in this sentence is the incorrect use of "girls" instead of the possessive "girl's." The correct sentence would be: "Was the girl's mother alone?" Â (d) He said, Come along please. The error in this sentence is the lack of proper punctuation after the word "said." The correct sentence would be: "He said, 'Come along, please.'" In summary, the original sentence (b) is correctly punctuated, while the other options have various punctuation errors that need correction.
