Presented by France to the United States, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed many immigrants to the United States. Presented by France to the United States the Statue of Liberty has welcomed many immigrants to the United States.

Answer 1

Presented by France to the United States, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed many immigrants to the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence given in the question, there are two types of clauses. One being the participle phrase which is also the dependent clause while the other is an independent clause and also the main clause in the sentence. The participle phrase introduces the main clause, adding more detail to it.

Thus, for the sentence to be correctly punctuated, the separating pause or comma should be in between the participle clause and the main clause/ the dependent clause or the independent clause.

Therefore, the final sentence which is correctly punctuated is

Presented by France to the United States, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed many immigrants to the United States.

Answer 2

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that is punctuated correctly is the following one: Presented by France to the United States, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed many immigrants to the United States.

"Presented by France to the United States" is a participle phrase. As it is introducing the main clause, you should separate the two sentence components with a comma.
