Question 3 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_1001370_English 3_S2_2015
The sentence includes an interrupting comment: “it was unbelievable how influenced they were by his case.” Dashes can set off this comment clearly, while the main sentence still reads smoothly: “The lawyer presented a clear argument to the jury—in hope of winning the trial.” Choice C uses commas to join the comment in a confusing way, and choice A’s parentheses make the aside less natural here. Choice B also correctly uses the phrase “in hope of winning the trial.”
