Which of the following sentences is correctly punctuated
The correctly punctuated sentence is B. "Mr. Jones visited the YMCA before becoming a member."
To identify the correctly punctuated sentence, let's look at each option:
A. The sentence "The company held it's annual party at the convention center" is incorrectly punctuated because it uses "it's" instead of "its." "It's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has," while "its" is a possessive pronoun.
B. The sentence "Mr. Jones visited the YMCA before becoming a member" is correctly punctuated. There is no notable punctuation error in this sentence.
C. The sentence "The local police asked the F.B.I. to assist with the case" is correctly punctuated. The acronym "F.B.I." is written with periods indicating the abbreviation for "Federal Bureau of Investigation."
D. The sentence "Mary remembered to buy milk didn't she?" is incorrectly punctuated. To make it correct, it should be written as "Mary remembered to buy milk, didn't she?" This correction adds a comma before the coordinating conjunction "didn't she?" to separate the main clause from the tag question.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. "Mr. Jones visited the YMCA before becoming a member."
