Answer:
O A. I have some . . . fantastic news to share.
Explanation:
Punctuation allows for a better understanding and usage of the English language in such a way that there are indications for how the sentences must be taken and how they are to be read. It also shows when and where the sentence ends, pause or even have a long pause, as in hesitation.
In the given sentences, the best show of hesitant speech is in the use of (. . .) in the sentence. This indicates that there is some sort of pause in the sentence, before "fantastic". Options C and D have no pause so they are wrong. Option B uses a hyphen, which is not how pauses are indicated.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

E-V-S (Expletive-Verb-Subject)
Explanation:
Unlike most sentences, this sentence does not follow the usual pattern of Subject + Verb, instead, it begins with an Expletive, then a verb and lastly the subject.
<em>There</em> is the expletive because it is a word without meaning that does not add to the sense of the sentence, and that, instead, is inserted to give emphasis, it acts as an intensifier.
<em>Is</em> is a conjugation of the verb “be” in present and it indicates the existence of the subject.
Lastly, <em>good reason to be thankful</em> is the subject because it is the thing that is being discussed in the sentence.
