Punctuation

MCQ - 598-4877

Question:

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

  1. How many times
  2. you, you
  3. securely
  4. you, you
  5. No error

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

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.
