In a sentence, ___________ create a pause intermediate in strength between ___________ and ___________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence is discussing punctuation marks that create pauses of varying strengths. The em dash creates the strongest pause, while parentheses create the weakest pause. Therefore, using em dashes, commas, and parentheses in that order creates a pause that is intermediate in strength between the two. Option A is the only choice that presents these three punctuation marks in the correct order. Option B presents them in the reverse order, while option C swaps the order of em dashes and parentheses. Option D is unrelated and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
