Question

What is the purpose of an ellipsis?

A) to indicate text has been omitted
B) to make the reader think about a point
C) to end sentence powerfully
D) to emphasize a specific fact​

Answer 1

Usually either B or C. Can be A if it's used during quotes. [see explanation - question contains nuance]

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, it depends. Usually, an ellipsis is used in speech to show that the character is thinking and drifting off. If it's in a non-fiction formal piece of persuasive writing, then it would be B. Otherwise, if it's an essay and it's used in a quote, it's A. Usually though, it would be C.

Depends on context.
