Identify the sentence that contains an error in punctuation or capitalization.
"After you’ve rested," Frank said, "please help me move these boxes."
"Can we wait until later?" asked Emily. "I have a lot of homework."
"It won’t take very long." replied Frank.
Emily told him that she would be right there.
I have already posted this once earlier and have read the link's provided...I just need help confirming if it is A or not - my thought was that "you've" doesn't sound right...?
Forget it - it's C...right?
A = correct - " you've" is the correct spelling got the contraction of " you have."
Right - C has the error.
ok thank you - so it is C...
Yes
To identify the sentence that contains an error in punctuation or capitalization, let's analyze each sentence individually:
1. "After you’ve rested," Frank said, "please help me move these boxes."
This sentence is punctuated correctly, with quotation marks used to indicate dialogue and a comma used before the closing quotation mark.
2. "Can we wait until later?" asked Emily. "I have a lot of homework."
This sentence is also punctuated correctly, with quotation marks used to indicate dialogue and a question mark used at the end of Emily's question.
3. "It won’t take very long." replied Frank.
In this sentence, there is a punctuation error. The period after "long" should be replaced with a comma since "replied Frank" is a dialogue tag. The corrected sentence would be: "It won’t take very long," replied Frank.
4. Emily told him that she would be right there.
This sentence is punctuated correctly. There are no errors in capitalization or punctuation.
Based on this analysis, the sentence that contains an error in punctuation is sentence 3: "It won’t take very long." replied Frank.
