Question

Which sentence uses appropriate punctuation? A)Howard Carter pioneered Egyptology he discovered King Tut’s tomb. B)Howard Carter pioneered Egyptology. He discovered King Tut’s tomb. C)Howard Carter pioneered Egyptology, he discovered King Tut’s tomb. D)Howard Carter pioneered Egyptology: he discovered King Tut’s tomb.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Howard Carter pioneered Egyptology. He discovered King Tut's tomb, which uses a full stop to properly separate two independent clauses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses appropriate punctuation is B) Howard Carter pioneered Egyptology. He discovered King Tut’s tomb. This sentence correctly uses a full stop to separate two independent clauses. Option A is a run-on sentence, C incorrectly uses a comma to separate independent clauses which can create a comma splice, and D uses a colon incorrectly as the second clause does not exemplify or expand on the first.

Answer 2

C, because it's a run-on sentence and you're separating the two sentences by adding a comma.

Hope this helped!
