The correct answer is B. I had sixty-seven dollars until someone—we’re still not sure who—stole my wallet from my back pocket.

Explanation:

In grammar, there are different punctuation marks including the period (.), comma (,), hyphen (-) and the dash(—) each one used in different cases and with different purposes and grammatical rules. In the case of the dash or emdash (—), which the punctuation mark presented in the sentences of the question, this punctuation mark is used to replace other punctuation marks such as commas or parentheses mainly to introduce words of clauses that work as extra information but are not essential to the main sentence with a stronger break than in the case of parentheses or commas.

Considering this, in the case of the sentence presented the information that can work as a clause for extra information is "we’re still not sure who" and therefore the sentence that uses correct punctuation is " I had sixty-seven dollars until someone—we’re still not sure who—stole my wallet from my back pocket" as in this sentence the em dashes replace the use of commas to add further information that does not directly belong to the main sentence " I had sixty-seven dollars until someone stole my wallet from my back pocket".

Write a story about coming face to face with a mummy
Marta_Voda [28]
I was at the museum one late night, making sure everything was in place. As I walk up to the mummy palace, which was a room where we kept all the fake mummies, I hear something fall.. i did not think much of it so I walked right out. As I was walking out, I had this very bad feeling in my stomach.. I turn around very slowly ... chills going on all over my body.. and I SEE IT!!! A real life mummy!!!! I run as fast I can hoping to get away from it but no luck. The mummy had gotten me and turned me into one of them. Now I’m a mummy in the museum. I’m on of them.

If you were to write a poetic tribute, how would you personify the spirit of the united state today?
Romashka [77]

<u>Poetic tribute about the spirit of the United States:</u>

My nation is for adoration  

So state its valleys  

Where old waterways stream  

The round trip of life  

Under the pleased eye of winged creatures  

Embellishing the sky.  

O wonderful for roomy skies,  

For golden floods of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Over the fruited plain!  

Love America Love America once more.  

Love the fantasy it used to be.  

Love the pioneer on the plain  

Looking for a home where the Mind smiles

Be that as it may, the most bizarre thing yet was a fly without wings  

Once as a fly it played in the stars  

Singing, with open mouths, with happy soul for the country!
