1 / -0

Which of the following is NOT the function of parentheses?

A
To provide additional information

B
To enclose numbers while drawing a list

C
To provide the full form of an abbreviation

D
To introduce a list of items

Solution

The punctuation mark, parentheses ( ), is used to enclose additional or extra information in a sentence, without influencing that sentence grammatically (the single bracket is called parenthesis whereas in a pair, ( ) is called parentheses). The functions of parenthesis include providing additional information, for example, 'The teacher (and his students) thoroughly enjoyed the museum tour'. It is used to enclose numbers while drawing a list, for example, 'Carry these items with you for the field trip: (1) an extra change of clothes, (2) a water bottle and (3) lunch'. Parentheses are used to provide the full form of an abbreviation, example, 'The INU (Indian National Union) addressed the current concerns during the press conference'. These three are the functions of the parentheses, but we have to choose the option that is not a function, hence options A, B and C are incorrect. The colon ':' usually introduces a list of items, like in the second example. Hence it's not a function of parentheses and we choose option D.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select the best ellipsis/short answer in the negative in response to the following:

Did you plan a tour to Karnal Karna Lake?

C
Did you plan a tour to Karnal Karna lake?

D
Did you plan a tour to Karnal Karna Lake.

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 direct question always takes a question mark in the end whereas, indirect sentences require a period.
Thus, according to the rules, the correct answer is Option B. The remaining options are incorrect.

A

Solution

An ellipses is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate a missing word or phrase, without which the sentence is still complete in meaning. It is represented by three dots '...', hence option C is correct. The punctuation ',' is a comma; it indicates a pause between the parts of a sentence, hence option A is incorrect. The punctuation '.' is a full stop which is used at the end of a sentence, or for abbreviations like 'eg., Mr.', hence option B is incorrect. The punctuation ':' is a colon that precedes an explanation or list, for eg., 'bring these things with you tomorrow: a water bottle, an extra pair of clothes and some snacks.' Hence option D is incorrect.
