Question

use the sentence from a narrative to answer the prompt
Did I make the team?
in 1 to 2 sentences explain why the writer should use an ellipsis instead of a comma

Answer 1

shorter

Answer 2

In the sentence, “Did I make the team…?” the ellipsis creates a sense of suspense and anticipation, leaving the reader hanging on the uncertainty of the outcome. A comma would imply a straightforward continuation, which wouldn’t capture the emotional weight of the moment.

Answer 3

The writer should use an ellipsis to create suspense and emphasize uncertainty, while a comma would suggest a more straightforward continuation.
