Question

“The term "It's not over until the fat lady sings" comes from the opera Der Ring des Nibelungen. The opera has a painfully long sixteen hour run time and ends with a character, commonly played by a large woman, singing a twenty minute solo. While the large operatic woman is commonly portrayed wearing a horned hat, a Brünnhilde is actually a winged hat.” What word or words should be inside inverted commas? A. Sixteen hour run time B. Winged hat C. Brünnhilde D. Run time

Answer 1

C). Brünnhilde.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverted commas(" ") are employed to mark the beginning and end of the quotation. It is usually employed around the terms or titles in order to highlight or emphasize the readers' attention towards it.

The words that must be inside the inverted commas would be 'Brünnhilde' as it is the title of the term that is being discussed. The passage discusses that the term 'comes from the opera Der Ring des Nibelungen.' It discusses that the 'Brunhilde opera' involves 'sixteen-hour painfully long run time' which is 'played by a large woman.' Thus, option C is the correct answer.
