Explanation:
If you are writing a letter to your friend, first, you must write the information about your full address, your friends' address, and the date.
Dear Alex, I am writing to you because I miss you very much. I know that you have heard some bad things about my behavior but that is not true.
Everyone is talking about the divorce of my parents but that is not true. They will figure it all out. I am not as sad as everyone has told you. I have many friends in my town too. It is true that I am not seeing them, but they are my friends, trust me. I heard that my mother told you that I gained some weight but that is not true either, I am going to the gym every day. Everything is going fine.
Maybe you have heard that I am seeing your ex-girlfriend, but no, I am not. We went just to drink a coffee couple of times. How is your life going? Tell me everything.
Your dear friend, Ivan.

<u>Answer</u>:
Out of the following sentences, the one that uses dashes correctly is - "The New Zealand Papua New Guinea handball team's stars Fredrickson, lacho, Honey, and Ipatas, have all demonstrated - hey, what's that duck doing here? Here, the right answer is Option B.
<u>Explanation</u>:
There is a surprise element at the end of the sentence which is marked by an exclamation ‘hey’ and a question. So, the dash is placed after the verb ‘demonstrated’ to highlight this surprise element of the sentence.
Also, the dash is used to emphasise on the conclusion or introduction of the sentence. Over here it gives importance to the conclusion of the sentence. Plus, it helps in breaking up the dialogue here.
