Sentence Correction: Punctuation Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

How many times do I have to tell you, you have to tie the garbage bags securely or we will have animals in our trash. No error

How many times

you, you

securely

we will have

No error

Explanation:

Correct Answer: B

The first clause of this sentence, "How many times do I have to tell you," is actually a rhetorical question. It is an independent clause and therefore must be separated with stronger punctuation than just a comma. In this case, it would be appropriate to set it off as its own sentence, ending in a question mark, but regardless, the comma splice in "you, you" is what makes this sentence ungrammatical.
