  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Punctuate the following sentence:
    please lend me your pencil sir
    Solution

    In the given sentence, the first thing we need to take note of is capitalizing the first letter of the sentence i.e. P (Please). We use a question mark for an interrogative sentence and a full stop for an imperative sentence that emphasizes a request. The given sentence conveys a request, therefore, we should use a full stop at the end of the sentence. Also, the first letter of ‘sir’ need not be in uppercase since it is not a proper noun. Therefore options A and C are incorrect. Further, a comma is used to indicate the separation of ideas or elements and to differentiate the different parts of a sentence, thereby avoid confusion while reading. In the given sentence, a comma needs to be placed after ‘Please’ since it is the introductory phrase; hence it needs to be set off from the main clause. Similarly, we should place a comma before ‘sir’ to indicate who the request is addressed to, thereby avoid misreading or confusion. Therefore option B is correct, while option D is incorrect. 

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the option with the correct punctuation marks.
    mr das is in new delhi today
    Solution
    The word, 'Mr' is a title used before a surname or full name to address or refer to a man without a higher or honorific or professional title. It is usually followed by a full stop as it is an abbreviation for the word, 'Mister'. 
    The letter 'm' in the word 'Mr' has to be capitalized irrespective of whether the word appears in the beginning of the sentence or otherwise. The word, 'Das' is the surname of a person. 'New Delhi' is the name of a city in India. As "Das' and 'New Delhi' are proper nouns, the letters, 'd' in "Das' and 'Delhi' and 'n' in 'New' have to be capitalized. 
    The given sentence is an assertive sentence and not a question. Hence, it has to end with a full stop and not a question mark. 
    Option A ends with a question mark and not a full stop. Hence it is incorrect.
    Option B is incorrect as 'n' in 'New' is not capitalized.
    Option C is incorrect as the letters 'm' in 'Mr' and 'd' in 'Das' are not capitalized. 
    Option D: In this option, the letters, 'm' in 'Mr', 'd' in "Das' and 'Delhi' and 'n' in 'New' are all capitalized. The sentence ends with a full stop. Hence, it is correctly punctuated and this option is correct.
