Question

which sentences are punctuated correctly?

The swim meet starts in an hour-we need to hurry!

My swim meet was canceled because of rain … but it will be rescheduled.

Which bus do we take to get to the pool…

Answer 1

Let's review each sentence for correct punctuation:

1. **I have snacks, a bottle of water-and a towel in my bag.**
- Incorrect: The hyphen should be a comma. It should read: "I have snacks, a bottle of water, and a towel in my bag."

2. **The swim meet starts in an hour-we need to hurry!**
- Incorrect: There should be a space before the dash. It should read: "The swim meet starts in an hour - we need to hurry!"

3. **My swim meet was canceled because of rain … but it will be rescheduled.**
- Correct: The ellipsis is appropriately used here.

4. **Which bus do we take to get to the pool…**
- Incorrect: It should end with a question mark instead of an ellipsis, as it's a direct question. It should read: "Which bus do we take to get to the pool?"

In summary, only the third sentence is punctuated correctly.
