the ellipsis used INCORRECTLY in D) Abigail confessed that she. . ."loved the novel by Jane Austen more than the novel by Mark Twain."

An ellipsis is a series of dots that usually indicates an intentional omission/delay of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning.
