Which sentence uses dashes correctly? A. Mom is making the best dinner—chicken and dumplings—in the world tonight. B. No one, and—I mean no one—is late for dinner then. C. I didn't even—eat lunch today—I was saving room for dinner. D. Her specialties—for instance, spaghetti, stir-fry, and meatballs—are the highlight of the weekend.

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

The answer is D. because dashes are used to break a sentence and also to separate things from the sentence like a list kinda. So like in this sentence Her specialties are listed inside the dashes to separate it from the sentence instead of them just being added into the sentence. Hope that helps Bruh! Good Luck on your test! ^^
