Question

Which sentences are punctuated correctly? Check all that apply. A) Ms. Washington bought twenty-four pencils for the classroom. B) Alyssa has collected more that one hundred trading cards. C) Caleb stirred one-fourth of the walnuts into the batter. D) There are three-hundred kids in my high school. E) The scientists added one eighth of a teaspoon of salt to the solution.

Answer 1

Sentences A, C, and E are punctuated correctly, using hyphens for compound numbers and fractions. Sentences B and D contain errors in hyphenation and word choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The punctuated sentences correctly are:

• A) Ms. Washington bought twenty-four pencils for the classroom.
• C) Caleb stirred one-fourth of the walnuts into the batter.
• E) The scientists added one eighth of a teaspoon of salt to the solution.

These sentences correctly use hyphens for compound numbers and fractions. Sentence B incorrectly uses 'more that' instead of 'more than'. Sentence D is incorrect because 'three-hundred' should be 'three hundred' without a hyphen.
