Answer:

A. The ball slowly rolled around the  rim and finally, dropped through  the hoop.

Explanation:

Punctuation is the use of the grammatical signs to indicate correct sentence construction. These marks make the sentence right, indicating how the sentence is to be read or taken. The signs may be of the comma, full-stop, question mark, or an exclamation mark, among others.

From the given options, the nest sentence that punctuates it correctly for a pause is the first option. The sentence reads <em>"The ball slowly rolled around the  rim and finally, dropped through  the hoop."</em>, putting the pause (comma) after finally, where the change in the sentence is made.

The other options' use of the pause in the sentence, (sentence B- comma after rolled and rim), (sentence C uses ..... after rolled) while (sentence D used it after rim) are all wrong. "The ball rolled around the rim" is a free flow sentence with no need for a pause, while there is also no need for a pause after "rim".

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer:

Someone I admire is my cousin Laura. She’s five years older than me, so she’s 19 now and she lives in Bristol. She’s very friendly and confident and she’s got long, wavy, brown hair and greeny-brown eyes. She’s medium height, slim and very fit because she’s a dancer.

She’s been dancing since she was six years old and trains every day at her dance school. She wants to be a professional dancer, but it’s a very difficult profession because it’s so competitive. She often dances in shows and I’ve been to watch her several times. Her favourite type of dance is modern, which is sometimes a bit strange, but I love watching her dance.

Laura is very busy because she also studies photography at university. She’s a really good photographer and has taken lots of amazing photos of me and my family. Her photos have won a few prizes and last year one of her photos was in an exhibition at an art gallery in London.

Laura doesn’t have a lot of free time and she’s also trying to learn German because she wants to go to Germany next year to do a photography course. I think Laura is very hard-working and she deserves to become a professional dancer one day.
