Pages in Pathways, Exercise 12

Add the proper punctuation to the sentences. We are working with dashes, apostrophes, parentheses, hyphens, and quotation marks.

Hyphen 1. Whenever my friend has a personal problem, he just buys another self help book. Hint: all phrases that start with self need a hyphen. Self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-denial

Answer Whenever my friend has a personal problem, he just buys another self-help book.

Quotation Marks Quotation marks are used around words that are directly quoted, either by someone who has spoken them or if they are quoted from a source. 2. What famous play includes the line, I have always relied on the kindness of strangers ?

Answer What famous play includes the line, “I have always relied on the kindness of strangers”? The directly quoted words need to have quotation marks around them. The question mark is after the closing quotation mark because the question mark isn’t part of the original quotation. (The famous play is A Streetcar Named Desire.)

Dashes and hyphens A hyphen is just one -. A dash is two --. Where do we need dashes and hyphens in this sentence? 3. If a move is rated PG parental guidance suggested, I preview it myself to make sure that it is appropriate for my eight year old son.

If a move is rated PG--parental guidance suggested--, I preview it myself to make sure that it is appropriate for my eight-year-old son.

Apostrophes to show possession 5. Answering customers questions about computer products is Aaron’s responsibility.

Answering customers’ questions about computer products is Aaron’s responsibility. The apostrophe is after the s in customers because Aaron deals with more than one customer. Why doesn’t products need an apostrophe?

Products is just plural in this sentence, meaning more than one product.

Apostrophes and Quotation Marks 6. One of Maya Angelous most beloved poems is I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings; equally impressive is her poem I Rise.
