I say D. when using an ellipsis, it should first of all be used in the quote. in D it is not used in the quote, but is used before, which is incorrect as far as i know.

An ellipsis is used incorrectly in sentence D, "Abigail confessed that she..."loved the novel by Jane Austen more than the novel by Mark Twain."

An ellipsis (or three dots) is used to delete unimportant information. In sentence D the elipsis is not necessary because the speaker is not eliminating anything from the quote. In options A and C, the ellipsis is at the end, symbolizing that there is more to the quote than what is written. Also, in option B, the speaker is eliminating the first names of the author. While the sentence would be fine without the ellipsis, it is not incorrect.

Ads aimed at teenagers are effective but in some cases they are unethical because they induce them to do negative things.

<h3>What is an advertisement?</h3>

In the case of advertisements aimed at adolescents, they generally promote skateboards, clothing, makeup, and other objects or services that they frequent, generating the need to buy or consume.

However, adolescents tend to become obsessed with things and therefore advertisements can become dangerous because some objects such as makeup or excessive party life are harmful to health.

<h3>How to write an essay on this topic?</h3>

To write an essay on this topic, you must present the arguments that support your statement about the ads and their effect on adolescents, citing true sources.
