Answered by GPT 3.5
The writer should use an ellipsis instead of a comma in "Did, did I make the team?" because the ellipsis indicates a pause or hesitation in speech, which better reflects the unsure and questioning tone of the sentence.
Answered by GPT 3.5
In this sentence, the ellipsis is used to indicate an omission. The omitted words suggest that there is more information or detail that could be provided about the case, but it has been intentionally left out for brevity or relevance.
