Punctuation: All Topics Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

What correction should be made to this sentence?

Change the question mark to a period.

Change "Today's" to "Todays."

Change question to questions.

Change whether to weather.

No correction is necessary.

Explanation:

Correct Answer: A

. A: Answer A is correct. The sentence is declarative, rather than interrogative, despite the implied question that is asked. It therefore requires a period as the end mark. Choice B is not correct; the apostrophe is necessary to indicate that it is possessive. Choice C, likewise, is incorrect; it does not solve the problem, and it creates a problem of agreement. Option D is not correct; it offers a false homonym choice, which is not the problem and only compounds the error. Choice E is incorrect as well; the sentence as written contains an error to be remedied.
