Which sentence uses dashes correctly? A. The pup—he's a terror—had already eaten one of my shoes. B. The search party was—a success—we found the missing puppy in my closet. C. My dad—always the comedian calls the pup Jaws. D. So far, he has eaten—shoes, belts, and one of my assignments.

Read them out loud and act as if the dashes are pauses when you speak. What's your guess? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think that it is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yea I thought that too

OpenStudy (ondinana):

I'm going with C. Because D should only have commas.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (ondinana):

D should be like this: So far, he has eaten; shoes, belts, and one of my assignments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so should i go with c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ondinana):
