Question

Which of the following sentences or phrases use correct punctuation? Check all that apply. Mr. Gallegos asked to be enrolled in: the HMO option: the group dental option: and the medical savings program. Friday is the deadline to submit applications; if you are interested in the job, submit your resume soon. All six work groups’ status reports were due on April 23. She said: "Check in the file cabinet because it might be there."

Answer 1

Answer:

Friday is the deadline to submit applications; if you are interested in the job, submit your resume soon.

All six work groups’ status reports were due on April 23.

Explanation:

The first is a complex compound sentence, which consists of two independent clauses separated by a semicolon and a dependent clause separated by a comma. Meanwhile, the second sentence contains an apostrophe to indicate possessive case.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because in the first sentence the parts of the a list should be separated by commas instead of colons, and in the last sentence the quotation should be introduced with a comma because it begins with the word said.

Answer 2

Answer: The second sentence ' Friday is the deadline to submit the applications; if you are interested in the job, submit your resume soon'.

Explanation:

The semi colon there after 'application ' is used as link for the two independent sentences made there and the comma is rightly placed indicating a pause in the speech being made
