1) The correct answer is: to create a dramatic effect.
Explanation: Authors can use an ellipsis, which is represented by three dots (...) to create a dramatic effect in their writing. This is achieved by omitting words, phrases, or entire sentences, leaving the reader in suspense or to emphasize a particular moment.
To determine the correct answer, you can identify the purpose of each option:
- To create a dramatic effect: This is the correct answer. The use of an ellipsis can create suspense or emphasize a moment, adding a dramatic effect to the text.
- To separate items in a list: Ellipses are not typically used to separate items in a list. Instead, commas, semicolons, or numbered lists are more commonly used for that purpose.
- To introduce dialogue: Ellipses are usually used within dialogue, not to introduce it. They may be used to indicate a pause or trailing off of speech, but they are not typically used at the beginning.
- To end a sentence: Ellipses can be used at the end of a sentence to indicate a trailing off or unfinished thought, but it is not their primary purpose.
2) The correct answer is: The tiara—covered in jewels—fell to the ground.
Explanation: This sentence is punctuated correctly using an em dash (—) to set off the phrase "covered in jewels." Em dashes can be used to indicate an interruption, emphasize a point, or set off an explanatory phrase. In this case, the phrase "covered in jewels" provides additional information about the tiara falling to the ground.
To determine the correct answer, you can evaluate the punctuation of each option:
- The tiara. Covered in jewels. Fell to the ground.: This option uses periods (.) to separate the sentence fragments. While this may be stylistically intentional, it does not follow conventional punctuation rules for sentence structure.
- The tiara—covered in jewels—fell to the ground.: This is the correct answer. The em dashes (—) are used correctly to set off the information about the tiara being covered in jewels. This punctuation choice adds emphasis and clarity to the sentence.
- The tiara covered in jewels . . . fell to the ground.: This option uses ellipses (...) in an incorrect manner. Ellipses are not used to set off additional information or explanation within a sentence.
- The tiara, covered in jewels fell to the ground.: This option uses a comma to set off the phrase "covered in jewels." However, in this case, the phrase is not an independent clause, so it should not be separated by a comma alone. An em dash or parentheses would be more appropriate for this purpose.
