A dash, like a semicolon, can be used to separate a new thought in a sentence from the original thought. Let's take a look at our answer choices and see which fits this description the best...
1. "I am learning about Japan -- believe it or not, it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This looks pretty good. The speaker is representing an original thought in the part regarding their learning about Japan, and then introducing a new thought with the statement about the fact that Japan is a chain of around 4,000 islands.
This looks like a good bet as our right answer, but let us examine the other answers anyway.
2. "I am learning -- about Japan believe it or not, it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This choice doesn't seem to make much sense no matter which way you look at it. Grammatical and punctuation errors abound. We can scratch this off our list.
3. "I am learning about Japan believe it or not -- it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This would almost be correct if it had a period after the word 'Japan', since there is an interjection being used there. Commas will always precede an interjection (or follow one if it is at the beginning of the sentence).
So our correct answer is choice 1, as this is the only sentence that correctly uses the dash, as well as all the other punctuation.
Hope that helped! =)
Since they were in the middle of a war and everything was chaotic, the characters attached to their mom and didn't want to lose her. Lives were being destroyed at the time so Zlata didn't want to lose her mom because of that.
Answer: 5/10 | I really liked your story! I think you should write more about how the sisters find the spellbook and where the evil jester goes when she is banished. You should also give all the characters formal names. You need to have more of a plot. Instead of saying "Then gradully the sisters secretly continue to send messages to each other and end up finding the location of the spellbook." You could say " When (Name) was banished, (Name2) sent her a message. 'I'm ready to find the spellbook', the message read." You need to add more dialogue. You should also check your spelling as I noticed several mistakes. You should add events leading up to the death of the king and queen. You could also give some information about the backstory of how the General's daughters are asked to come to the castle. I liked your story but overall you need
- Dialogue
- Formal names
-Plot, rising action, falling action
- Backstory
-Setting
-Spellcheck

For example, maybe you study best in quiet spaces, or maybe you need background noise to keep focused. You might do well with an organized desk space, or you might prefer to study while lounging on the floor. No matter which study style works best for you, the first step to academic success is designing an appropriate study space; the second step is, of course studying. All of this explains why the key to creating your perfect study space is knowing your own personal study style.
