Question
- read the sentence.
hey that painting the one on the back wall is yours.
what is the correct way to punctuate the sentence?
hey! that painting, the one on the back wall, is yours!
hey. that painting; the one on the back wall, is yours.
hey! that painting, the one on the back wall is yours.
hey, that painting: the one on the back wall, is yours!
Brief Explanations
- "Hey" is an exclamatory interjection, so it needs an exclamation mark.
- "the one on the back wall" is a non-restrictive appositive phrase that adds extra information about "that painting"; it must be set off by commas on both sides.
- The sentence conveys an excited statement, so an exclamation mark at the end is appropriate, and the capitalization of "That" is correct. Other options use incorrect punctuation (period after "Hey", semicolon/colon in wrong places, missing closing comma for the appositive).
