Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point.
He opened the box of chocolate and took one out to eat.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. eat,
• C. eat;
• D. eat:

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

According to general rule, a period is used to mark the end of a complete sentence. Thus, the correct answer will be Option A, no change.

The remaining options are incorrect, as a comma is used to indicate a pause whereas, a semi colon is used to separate major sentence elements. A colon is used to indicate emphasis or introduce a list.
