Correct! The sentence that is correctly punctuated, spaced, and capitalized is B) The patient will see Dr. Jones, cardiologist; Dr. Green, pulmonologist; and Dr. Frank, physical therapist.
To determine the correct answer, we need to look at the proper use of punctuation, spacing, and capitalization. In this sentence, we have the names of multiple doctors listed, and each doctor's name is followed by their respective specialization.
Option A) is incorrect because there are no commas between the doctor's names and their specializations, and there is no space after the comma. Additionally, "physicaltherapist" is not properly spaced.
Option B) is correct because it uses commas to separate the doctor's names and specializations, maintains proper spacing after the commas and between the words, and capitalizes the proper nouns "Dr. Jones," "Dr. Green," and "Dr. Frank." It also properly spaces "physical therapist."
Option C) is incorrect because it uses semicolons instead of commas to separate the doctor's names and specializations, which is not the appropriate punctuation for this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) The patient will see Dr. Jones, cardiologist; Dr. Green, pulmonologist; and Dr. Frank, physical therapist.
