2. In which of the following sentences is the symbol used correctly? D
A. Rachel's rent has gone up to 765$ a month.
B. Jason bought three books & two magazines.
C. Marilla was hired as a paralegal at Baines, Johnson & Laird.
D. According to Alan, the survey revealed that population growth increased twenty-one% in 2005.
I put answer as D.
I disagree. You need to use the symbol % after numeral. After a spelled-out number, use percent.
In C, the probable official name of this company is Baines, Johnson & Laird.
Yes, you are correct. In sentence D, the symbol "%" is used correctly to represent the percentage.
Indeed, the symbol is used correctly in sentence D: "According to Alan, the survey revealed that population growth increased twenty-one% in 2005." In this sentence, the symbol "%" is used correctly to represent a percentage.
To arrive at the answer, you needed to understand how to use the symbol "%" correctly. In general, the symbol "%" is used to indicate a percentage or a proportion. It shows the relationship between a number and a whole, where 100% represents the whole. In sentence D, "%" is used after the number "twenty-one" to indicate that it is a percentage. Thus, the correct answer is D.
