Question

13 multiple choice 1 point choose the sentence with proper punctuation. when the computer started to beep, and smoke mr. woo screamed for a fire extinguisher. when the computer started to beep and smoke mr. woo, screamed for a fire extinguisher. when the computer started to beep and smoke mr. woo screamed, for a fire extinguisher. when the computer started to beep and smoke, mr. woo screamed for a fire extinguisher.

Explanation:

To determine the sentence with proper punctuation, we analyze each option:

1. First option: The comma after "beep" is incorrect as "and smoke" is part of the list of actions the computer did, so no comma before "and" here. Also, no comma after the dependent clause "When the computer started to beep and smoke" to separate it from the independent clause.
2. Second option: The comma after "Mr. Woo" is incorrect as it incorrectly separates the subject from the verb.
3. Third option: The comma after "screamed" is incorrect as it disrupts the flow of the verb and its object.
4. Fourth option: The dependent clause "When the computer started to beep and smoke" is followed by a comma to separate it from the independent clause "Mr. Woo screamed for a fire extinguisher", and there are no other incorrect commas.

Answer:

D. When the computer started to beep and smoke, Mr. Woo screamed for a fire extinguisher.
