Question

Paying attention to the correct use of dashes, choose the best written item. Choose one answer. a. From seashells -- the natives made beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, even entire lines of jewelry. b. From seashells, the natives made beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings -- even entire lines of jewelry. c. From seashells, the natives made beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings -- even entire lines of jewelry.

Answer 1

Answer:

b and c are the same. They both are correct.

b. From seashells, the natives made beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings -- even entire lines of jewelry.

c. From seashells, the natives made beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings -- even entire lines of jewelry.

Explanation:

Dashes are used commonly to lay emphasis on the conclusion of a sentence. So, in option a, the dash is right at the start of the sentence which can't be correct. But both options b and c are of the same sentence. And they both have the dashes in the end, laying emphasis on the way the sentence ends.
