Answers?
1. B
2. A
3. A
4. C is my answer, but I think it's A since I took this class last semester and remember one of them containing no commas.
All are correct, including C for #4.
#4 correct is not C it is A. Got C wrong on test corrected it with A and got it right
You are correct with most of your answers. Here is the breakdown:
1. The correct answer is B. Option A lacks proper punctuation separating the names of the specialists, and option C uses a comma before "and" which shouldn't be there.
2. The correct answer is A. The subject of the sentence is "EKG," which is singular, so the verb should also be singular, "was," rather than "were."
3. The correct answer is A. Option B uses a semicolon to connect the two items on the list, which is incorrect. Option C uses a comma to separate the two items, but a colon is the appropriate punctuation mark for introducing a list.
4. The correct answer is C. Commas should be placed before and after the name "Harriet Hardtack" to indicate that it is an appositive, providing additional information about "one of your teachers." Option A lacks any commas, and option B incorrectly places a comma after the name.
Overall, your answers are mostly correct, but for question 4, the correct answer is C, not A.
