  32. Q32Which is punctuated correctly?

    Answer: C. Phew,

    Phew, is the correct choice because a comma follows the interjection when it introduces the rest of the same sentence, and the next word 'the' starts with a small letter. A question mark or full stop would need the next word to start with a capital letter, and leaving out punctuation entirely is incorrect.

  34. Q34Which sentence uses correct punctuation?

    Answer: B. Hurray! We won.

    Hurray! We won. is correct because 'Hurray!' is a strong feeling, so we use an exclamation mark and start the next sentence with a capital letter.

  35. Q35Choose the correctly punctuated option: '___ the plate slipped out of my hands.'

    Answer: A. Oops,

    Oops, is the correct choice because the comma leads into the rest of the sentence, and the next word 'the' starts with a small letter. A full stop or question mark would need the next word to start with a capital letter.

  36. Q36Which sentence is correct?

    Answer: A. Alas, he is gone.

    Alas, he is gone. is correct. Use a comma after the interjection if the next word is not capitalized.

  37. Q37Choose the correctly punctuated option: '___ you did it!'
