C?
C is correct.
Yes, you are correct. The sentence that is correctly punctuated is option C: "Ms. Blake asked me whether I would attend the conference."
Correct! Sentence C is correctly punctuated.
To identify the correctly punctuated sentence, let's analyze each option:
a. Ms. Blake asked me whether I would attend the conference?
In this sentence, there is an unnecessary question mark, as the sentence is a statement and not a direct question. Therefore, it is not correctly punctuated.
b. Ms. Blake, asked me whether I would attend the conference.
In this sentence, there is a comma after Ms. Blake, which is incorrect. The subject "Ms. Blake" and the verb "asked" do not require a comma between them. Therefore, it is not correctly punctuated.
c. Ms. Blake asked me whether I would attend the conference.
This is the correct choice. There are no unnecessary commas or punctuations in this sentence. It is correctly punctuated.
d. Ms. Blake, asked me, whether I would attend, the conference.
In this sentence, there are unnecessary commas placed after "Ms. Blake," "me," and "attend." These commas disrupt the flow of the sentence and are not required. Therefore, it is not correctly punctuated.
Therefore, the correct answer is sentence C.
