Which of the following uses dashes correctly?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Out of the following sentences, the one that uses dashes correctly is - "The New Zealand Papua New Guinea handball team's stars Fredrickson, lacho, Honey, and Ipatas, have all demonstrated - hey, what's that duck doing here? Here, the right answer is Option B.

Explanation:

There is a surprise element at the end of the sentence which is marked by an exclamation ‘hey’ and a question. So, the dash is placed after the verb ‘demonstrated’ to highlight this surprise element of the sentence.

Also, the dash is used to emphasise on the conclusion or introduction of the sentence. Over here it gives importance to the conclusion of the sentence. Plus, it helps in breaking up the dialogue here.

Ex.5. Rewrite the questions in reported speech. "Are you hungry?" He asked me _______ . "What are you doing now?" He asked me __

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

He asked me if I was hungry.

He asked me what I was doing.

He asked me when he went to school.

He asked me where I spent my holidays.

He asked me what the time was then.

Explanation:

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person had told us. This retelling or exchange of information to a third party is given in the reporter form, or in the indirect speech.

The verbs and tenses in the reported speech will be changed according to the tenses in the first speech. So, supposing the initial sentence is in the simple present tense, then the reported speech will be in the simple past tense. Likewise, if the original speech is in the present perfect, then the reporting speech will be in the past perfect tense.

"Are you hungry?" He asked me if I was hungry. 

"What are you doing now?" He asked me what I was doing. 

"When does he go to school?" He asked me when he went to school. 

"Where did you spend your holidays?" He asked me where I spent my holidays. 

"What time is it now?" He asked me what the time was then.
