Question

Select the correctly punctuated sentence from the options below?

B. I just learned an interesting fact, there are places in America where self service gas
stations are illegal!

C. I just learned an interesting fact-there are places in America where self-service gas
stations are illegal!

D.I just learned an interesting fact-there are places in America where self service gas
stations are illegal!

Answer 1

I think option A is the correctly punctuated sentence. The comma after "fact" is correct, as it separates the introductory phrase "I just learned an interesting fact" from the rest of the sentence. Additionally, the sentence contains a complete independent clause and ends with an exclamation point to indicate excitement or surprise.
