Pretest

Question 1 • Language Arts 9

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
One country—that I would like to visit—is Australia.
B
The house which has been vacant—is finally for sale.
C
One play that I would like to read is Julius Caesar .
D
The statue, which is made of copper is well crafted.

Explanation

A is correct because the dashes properly set off the nonessential phrase “that I would like to visit.” In B, the dash after “vacant” has no matching opening dash. In C, there is an unnecessary space before the period. In D, the nonessential clause needs a comma after “copper.”
