Which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Although the town appears strikingly dull, most folks say it's a nice place to live.
Rationale:
🟩 This sentence uses correct punctuation and grammar, including a properly placed comma and correct contraction.
🟩 The comma after the dependent clause (“Although the town appears strikingly dull”) correctly separates it from the independent clause.
🟩 “It’s” is the correct contraction of “it is”. Using “its” would indicate possession, which is incorrect here.
🟩 The semicolon (;) in the first option is incorrect because a semicolon should only connect two independent clauses, not a dependent and independent clause.
