To identify the sentence that is punctuated correctly, we need to review the options provided and determine if they follow the appropriate punctuation rules.
a. Once inside, my mother's house seemed much larger than it appears on the outside.
This sentence is correctly punctuated. It starts with an introductory phrase, "Once inside," which is followed by a comma. The main sentence is separated from the introductory phrase with another comma. Also, it ends with the appropriate punctuation mark, a period.
b. Once inside my mother's house seemed much larger, than it appears on the outside.
This sentence is not punctuated correctly. It lacks commas to separate the introductory phrase from the main sentence and to set off the comparative phrase "than it appears on the outside." It should be corrected as follows: "Once inside, my mother's house seemed much larger than it appears on the outside."
c. Once inside, my mother's house, seemed much larger than it appears on the outside.
This sentence is not punctuated correctly. It adds additional punctuation, a comma after the noun "house," which is unnecessary in this context. It should be corrected as follows: "Once inside, my mother's house seemed much larger than it appears on the outside."
Therefore, the sentence that is punctuated correctly is option a. Once inside, my mother's house seemed much larger than it appears on the outside.
