Final answer:
Omitted words and bound morphemes are marked with an ellipsis. Hyphens are used for joining modifying words, while parentheses and dashes enclose nonessential information, with dashes emphasizing the content more. Option 2: Ellipsis is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Omitted words and bound morphemes are marked with ellipsis. An ellipsis [...] indicates that you have omitted words from a quotation or a segment of text.
For example, when you alter a quotation to fit into your sentence and you want to shorten it for clarity or relevance, you would use an ellipsis to show that part of the original text has been left out.
In contrast, other punctuation marks such as hyphens are used to join words serving as modifiers before a noun to clarify how they function together; this is important for phrases such as 'high-speed chase' where without the hyphen, the meaning could be misunderstood.
Parentheses and dashes are used for enclosing additional information that can be considered nonessential to the main point of the sentence, with dashes often providing more emphasis to the enclosed content than parentheses.
