The correct answer is C. The other day, one of the gentlemen from Georgia … came down on us astonishingly.

Explanation:

In grammar, an ellipsis (...) is a punctuation mark that consists of three consecutive periods to show words or even phrases have been omitted from the original text. Because of this, the ellipsis is commonly used by omitting complete phrases including punctuation marks, which means ellipsis is not placed along with other punctuation marks such as comma, semicolon or period. Also, it is recommended to place a space before and after the ellipsis and avoid omitting words or phrases that are necessary to understand the meaning or essence of an excerpt.

Considering this, the sentence that correctly uses ellipses is "The other day, one of the gentlemen from Georgia … came down on us astonishingly" because in this sentence the ellipsis is used to show the omission of sentences without changing the meaning of the original text, which is the main purpose of using ellipses. Also, in this phrase, the ellipses are not placed with other punctuation marks and there is a space before and after them has been included which is correct according to grammar and style.

Answer:

The other day, one of the gentlemen from Georgia … came down on us astonishingly. (third option)

Explanation:

An ellipsis takes a space before and after, so the last option is correct.

The first option is wrong because it uses a comma.

The second option is wrong because there is no space before the ellipsis.

1. In this passage from "The Brown Chest," Morna notices the brown chest as she looks through items in the main character's barn
mr Goodwill [35]

The narrator possibly refers to himself as an “ogre” because he feels old, large, and clumsy in comparison to his son’s fiancé Morna, who seems to be delicate and full of innocence, hope, and possibilities. Morna views the narrator and the old objects in the chest with awe and curiosity, which is evident from her deep interest in the objects: But the friend was a female, small and exquisite, with fascinating large eyes, the whites white as china, and a way of darting back and forth like a hummingbird, her wings invisible. "Oh," she exclaimed, over this and that, explaining to Gordon in a breathy small voice how this would be useful, and that would fit right in, "Lamps!" she said. "I love lamps." On the other hand, the narrator as a child, was disgusted by and afraid of the old chest and its contents, which to him represented death and decay: The full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know. His parents' college diplomas seemed to be under the blankets, and other documents going back still farther, having to do with his grandparents, their marriage, or the marriage of someone beyond even them. There was a folded old piece of paper with drawn-on hearts and designs and words in German. His mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen. A thing so old disgusted him. It is only when his parents are dead and he has had his own family that he understands the worth and significance of all the old treasures his mother saved in the chest, as well as the memories and family history he could discover in its contents.

Read the excerpt from part two of Trifles.
Afina-wow [57]
In this play, the attorney is trying to find out what happened to Mr. Wright and how he died (apparently strangled, but suspected murdered). Mrs. Peters finds the bird, that was supposed to be in the bird cage, strangled. She interprets this as the preparation to the killing of Mr. Wright and hides the bird in a box. The fact that the ladies in the scene have agreed to not disclose the contents of the box and continue to hide it, let us know that the best answer here is option C.
