used correctly?

twenty-one% in 2005.
B. Rachel’s rent has gone up to 765$ a month.
C. Jason bought three books & two magazines.
D. Marilla was hired as a paralegal at Baines,
Johnson & Laird.

Which do YOU THINK is the answer?

Jason bought three books & two magazines

The correct sentence that uses the symbol correctly is:

A. According to Alan, the survey revealed that population growth increased twenty-one% in 2005.

To determine if the symbol usage is correct, we need to understand which symbol is being referred to. In this case, it is the percent (%) sign.

In sentence A, the symbol is used correctly. The percent sign (%) is properly placed after the number "twenty-one" to indicate a percentage value. The rest of the sentence is grammatically accurate.

Let's analyze the other options:

B. Rachel’s rent has gone up to 765$ a month.
This sentence does not use any symbol, so it is not the correct option.

C. Jason bought three books & two magazines.
The symbol "&" is used, but it is not the correct usage as it is not a symbol used for punctuation or formatting.

D. Marilla was hired as a paralegal at Baines, Johnson & Laird.
Similar to option C, the "&" symbol is used but it is not correctly used in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence that uses the symbol correctly is option A.
