Which word and punctuation mark corrects the punctuation error in this sentence? Your puppy, Ryan needs to learn to walk on a leash. A. puppy; B. Ryan, C. walk,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B, because when you read it you pause at Ryan before you continue reading.

OpenStudy (esshotwired):

The proper explanation would be Ryan is an appositive and needs commas on both sides :3 *sips tea with pinky finger up*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True, but I don't see that option.

OpenStudy (esshotwired):

B is the option~ xD Comma before and after so it is: Your puppy, Ryan, needs to learn to walk on a leash.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh haha I thought you meant that was changing the sentence, oops. So yeah B.
