Answer 1

The fourth sentence

Step-by-step explanation:

The fourth sentence uses the dash appropriately, utilizing it to introduce an appositive structure.

The first three sentences, however, fail to use them correctly.

1. Instead of a dash, a stop would have been more appropriate to separate both sentences. Alternatively, dropping the expletive and the verb, leaving just the Noun Phrase would work just fine.
2. While separating various words of the same category, in this case nouns, commas get the job done.
3. Time periods such as 18th century or The Middle Ages do not utilize dashes in between. Neither does the verb mined with the adverb today.
