Choose correct punctuation. .

a) have I many friends (b) have many friends? (c) Have I many friends! (d) Have I many friends.

None of the sentences has correct punctuation and capitalization. One seems to be missing a word.

Well, one of those could be considered a correctly written sentence.

Which one, do you think, Nayab?

Oops! I see the right one now.

YW!!! =)

The correct punctuation for the given sentence is option (b) "Have many friends?"

To determine the correct punctuation, we need to consider the sentence structure and the intended meaning. In this case, we are forming a question to ask whether someone has many friends.

When forming a yes/no question, we usually start with an auxiliary verb (e.g., do, can, have) followed by the subject and the main verb. Additionally, in written English, we use a question mark at the end of the sentence to indicate that it is a question.

Let's analyze the options provided:

a) "Have I many friends" - This option incorrectly places the pronoun "I" after the verb "have," while it should be before the verb. Additionally, it lacks the question mark at the end.

b) "Have many friends?" - This option correctly follows the structure of a question, with the auxiliary verb "have" before the subject "many friends." It also includes a question mark at the end. Hence, it is the correct punctuation choice.

c) "Have I many friends!" - While this option places the pronoun "I" correctly before the verb "have," it uses an exclamation mark at the end instead of a question mark, which is incorrect for a question.

d) "Have I many friends." - This option places the pronoun "I" correctly before the verb "have" and uses a period at the end. However, it lacks the question mark necessary to form a question in written English.

Therefore, the correct punctuation is option (b) "Have many friends?"
