Answer

Brief Explanations:

An ellipsis is used to indicate omitted words. In option 1, the ellipsis is correctly placed to show that some words between "one way" and "to tell" are left out. Option 2 breaks the flow in an odd place. Option 3 has the ellipsis at the end when nothing is being omitted there. Option 4 has unnecessary ellipses at the start and end when no words are being skipped from the start or end of the original thought.

Answer:

  1. "Tyler and Tyrell were identical twins. There was one way... to tell the boys apart."
