The correct sentence is: "The swim meet starts in an hour—we need to hurry!"
The sentence that is punctuated correctly is:
The swim meet starts in an hour—we need to hurry!
To determine the correct answer, we need to look at the punctuation marks used in each sentence. In the first option, there is an extra period (.) placed after "rain" before the ellipsis (...). This is incorrect punctuation.
In the second option, the dash (—) is used correctly to separate the two independent clauses "The swim meet starts in an hour" and "we need to hurry."
In the third option, the comma is placed correctly before the conjunction "and" in the list "snacks, a bottle of water—and a towel in my bag."
Lastly, the fourth option is incomplete, so we cannot determine its correctness without further context.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The swim meet starts in an hour—we need to hurry!
