Question

Which sentence shows the correct use of a dash?

Answer 2

❤️Hello!❤️The correct answer is C. Certain sound devices - for example, alliteration can be used to imitate natural sounds

Explanation:

Dashes are punctuation marks, that are mainly use to replace  others such as colon (:), comma (;), semicolon (;) or parentheses (), in this cases a dash is being used to replace a  semicolon (;), this means it is used to separate two ideas that are related and to introduce the term "for example" this means there is a pause between these ideas, but both are still connected, In this way, according to grammar a semicolon (;) should be used before words such as however, that is, for example to state a pause and introduce a new sentence, considering dashes are used to replace multiple punctuation marks including semicolons (;), it is correct to use a dash before "for example, alliteration can be used to imitate natural sounds" as it states a pause and the introduction of the linking word "for example".Hope this helps ↪️Autumn↩️
