Question

Jerome is writing an essay for class. Read the quotation from Patrick Henry's speech in 1775 to the Virginia House of Burgesses and then answer the question that follows.

"I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

If Jerome only wants to use part of the quotation in his essay, which sentence is punctuated correctly?
A.
"I know not what course others may take; but...give me liberty or give me death!"

B.
"I know not what course others may take. Give me liberty, or death!"

C.
"I know not—give me liberty or give me death!"

D.
"[B]ut, give me liberty, or death!"

Answer 1

D. "[B]ut, give me liberty, or death!"

Answer 2

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is actually C. "I know not—give me liberty or give me death!" In this option, the ellipsis is used to indicate that the sentence continues after "I know not" is truncated. Additionally, the punctuation for the remaining part of the quote is correct. Sorry for the mistake in my previous response.

Answer 3
