    1 / -0
    Select the correctly punctuated version of the following sentence:

    Solution

    While punctuating a sentence it is important to capitalize the first letter of the sentence. Thus ‘When’ would be the correct way of starting the sentence. Similarly, common nouns such as ‘bell’, articles such as ‘the’, and verbs such as ‘will’ and ‘ring’ should not be capitalized when they appear in the middle of a sentence. Therefore option A is correct, whereas options B and C are incorrect. A comma is used to indicate the separation of ideas or elements. In the given sentence if we add a comma before ‘rings’ it would make the sentence incomplete, as ‘ring’ is the verb that accompanies ‘bell’. Thus option D is incorrect.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the correctly punctuated version of the following sentence:
    yay we are going on a picnic
    Solution
    We use an exclamation mark to indicate an exclamatory clause or expression in writing. ‘Yay’ is a commonly used exclamation that indicates excitement. Therefore it should be followed by an exclamation mark. Whereas ‘We are going on a picnic.’ is the next sentence, therefore it should not be followed by an exclamation mark. Hence option A is correct while option B is incorrect. Since ‘We are going on a picnic.’ is a separate sentence, the first letter of the sentence needs to be capitalized. Hence ‘we’ is not the right form of starting a sentence. Thus option C is incorrect. In addition to this, it is a declarative sentence; hence we cannot use a question mark at of it. Therefore option D is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the correctly punctuated version of the following sentence:
    how lovely the climate is 
    Solution

    While punctuating a sentence it is important to capitalize the first letter in a sentence. So 'How' is the right way to start the sentence. The given sentence is an exclamatory sentence, wherein the surprise is conveyed through the sentence. We use an exclamation mark to indicate an exclamatory clause or expression in writing. Thus option A is correct. Whereas a question mark is used to denote that what is said is a question. Since the given sentence is an exclamatory sentence and not a question option D is incorrect. A comma is used to indicate the separation of ideas or elements. The given sentence doesn’t contain multiple ideas or elements, therefore, a comma is not necessary. The sentence as the whole functions as an exclamation, therefore we shouldn’t place a comma in front of ‘the climate’ or the verb ‘is’, since it would be illogical. In addition to that, option C doesn’t have an exclamation mark which is unsuitable. Thus options B and C are incorrect. 

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    raman and anjula will fly to america
    Solution
    According to general rule, the first word of a sentence is always capitalized. Capitals are used for all proper nouns in a sentence and also, for words derived from proper nouns. 
    A declaratory sentence must always end using a period.
    Thus, according to the rules, the correct answer is Option C. The remaining options are incorrect.
