Question

Which punctuation correction would improve the following sentence?

Instead of calling her I talkdy to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain.

A. Insert a comma after "friend."

B. Insert a period after "friend."

C. Insert a comma after "her."

D. Insert a comma after "listening."

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Add a comma after a dependent clause.

"Instead of calling her" is not a full thought.

That classifies it as a dependent clause.

"I talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain." is a full idea.

That classifies it as a independent clause.

Answer 2

C. Insert a comma after “her.”
