Question 2 of 10
Identify the sentence that contains an error in punctuation or capitalization.
A. “After you’ve rested,” Frank said, “please help me move these boxes.”
B. “Can we wait until later?” asked Emily. “I have a lot of homework.”
C. “It won’t take very long.” replied Frank.
D. Emily told him that she would be right there.
C. “It won’t take very long.” replied Frank. There should be a comma after "long".
To identify the sentence that contains an error in punctuation or capitalization, we'll need to look at each option:
Option A: "After you’ve rested," Frank said, "please help me move these boxes."
This sentence appears to be correctly punctuated with quotation marks and capitalization.
Option B: "Can we wait until later?" asked Emily. "I have a lot of homework."
This sentence also appears to be correctly punctuated with quotation marks and capitalization.
Option C: "It won’t take very long." replied Frank.
In this sentence, there is an error in punctuation. The comma after "long" should be a period since it's the end of a sentence. Additionally, the word "replied" should not begin with a capital letter since it is part of the same sentence as the previous dialogue.
Option D: Emily told him that she would be right there.
This sentence does not contain any error in punctuation or capitalization.
Therefore, the sentence that contains an error in punctuation or capitalization is C. "It won’t take very long." replied Frank.
