Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which punctuation mark is used to indicate that letters have been omitted in a contraction?

  1. A. Comma
  2. B. Apostrophe
  3. C. Hyphen
  4. D. Colon
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BB. Apostrophe
An apostrophe is used in contractions to show where one or more letters have been left out, such as 'don't' for 'do not'. A hyphen joins words, a comma separates clauses, and a colon introduces lists or explanations.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Which sentence uses the comma correctly?

  1. A. She bought bread, and butter at the store.
  2. B. After the rain stopped, we went outside.
  3. C. He was tired, but, he continued working.
  4. D. The dog barked, the cat ran away.
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BB. After the rain stopped, we went outside.
A comma is correctly placed after an introductory adverbial clause, as in option B. Option A incorrectly separates a compound object, option C has unnecessary commas around 'but', and option D creates a comma splice by joining two independent clauses with only a comma.
