Answer: The sea was like a rippling blanket of brochure-blue. Squabbling seagulls flew overhead, harassing the beachgoers in their endless hunger. Gannets were dive-bombing the stretched surface of the sea far out from shore. The horizon was edged with a silver tint and a cormorant was flying into that place where sun and water meet. His wings were a blur of motion and he soon faded from sight. The opera of the sea washed over me and the wave-music was welcome.

<u>Answer</u>:
B: When running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, to state his beliefs articulately, and look confident while doing so.
This statement has been written correctly.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Punctuation is very important in a writing. The reader can understand the meaning properly and even the writing appears more appealing. Without punctuation, correct meaning might not reach to the reader. He might lose his interest in reading.
Option B has correct punctuation marks, i.e. there is a comma after office and after positions. Also, “to state his beliefs” is grammatically correct. In other options, use of “stating his beliefs” in Option D and “to look confident” in Option C makes both the sentences grammatically wrong. In Option A, use of ‘state his beliefs’ and ‘to look’ are incorrect as well.
