Question 14 • **MFISD ENGLISH 1 A 22-23 CR

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
The aliens suffered from exhaustion, after traveling several light years.
B
They needed some relaxation, when they finally landed their spaceship.
C
After they rested a few days, the aliens revived sufficiently to explore.
D
They needed all their energy, once they started hiking the rough terrain.

Explanation

A comma separates an introductory dependent clause from the main clause. In C, “After they rested a few days” is the introductory dependent clause, so the comma before “the aliens revived sufficiently to explore” is correct. The other sentences incorrectly place a comma between a main clause and a following phrase or dependent clause.
