Question

read this text. in 1842, czar nicholas i hired george washington whistler—an american builder, draftsman, engineer, and soldier—to build the moscow - st. petersburg railway. is this an appropriate use of an ellipsis? \in 1842, czar nicholas i hired george washington whistler . . . to build the moscow - st. petersburg railway.\ yes no, because the text with an ellipsis no longer has the same meaning

Explanation:

An ellipsis is used to indicate an omission. Here, removing the description of Whistler (an American builder, draftsman, engineer, and soldier) changes the meaning as it omits important identifying information about him.

Answer:

no, because the text with an ellipsis no longer has the same meaning
