Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point.
She picked up the book from the table. She then opened it to the first chapter.

• A. table, she
• B. table: she
• C. NO CHANGE
• D. table- she

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

A full stop should be placed at the end of a declarative or imperative sentence. A declarative sentence states a simple fact or argument whereas, an imperative sentence is one that gives a command.

The given sentences can be defined as declarative sentences and a period should be used between the two. Thus, the correct answer is Option A, no change.

The other remaining options are incorrect. Dashes, like commas and colons are used to indicate emphasis, or interruption, or change of thought.
