Hi!

When we have a quote, we often times use a colon to separate our text from the quote's text.

With this in mind, the best answer choice here is C.

Hopefully, this helps!

Answer:

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is sentence C.

Explanation:

When you use a complete sentence to introduce a quotation, you need a colon after the sentence. If you used a comma, you would create a comma splice. In the sentence above, the sentence introduces the quotation, the words actually said by the speaker's grandmother. That is why the words are inside quotation marks.

The quotation is not a question, so that leaves out option D. In B, the colon is wrongly placed. Finally, the semicolon in A would create a similar error as with the comma. Taking all this into account, it can be said that C is the right choice.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

It is important to state that the original opening scene from Hamlet does not contain the "stage directions" included in this excerpt ("Elsinore, a platform before the castle"); and what is more, there is no explicit allusion to a place before the action actually starts.

Having said that, the correct answer is A because Bernardo asks <em>"Who's there?</em>" and Fransisco returns <em>"Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself"</em> (meaning, you tell me who you are and identify yourself). <u>This interaction can only be possible if it is very late at night, since the characters imply that they can's see each other by asking who is approaching.</u> Once they have identified themselves they talk about to things:

  1. "'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Fransisco"

="The clock says it's twelve, so go to bed" This is an explicit reference to the time in which this scene takes place, so now we can be certain that it is very late at night.

2.  "it's bitter cold, and I am sick at heart"

= "It's very cold and I feel depressed" This is an explicit reference to the weather being cold.
