Which of the following options is correctly punctuated?

Having commas that separate the additional information “which had been parked on a steep hill” is the most correct use of the punctuation because it shows that the sentence can do without that piece of information. The additional information is only used to add more details but can still be excluded and that is why it is enclosed in commas.

Signing in this sentence describes a noun as it is a “thing” rather than an action.

Choice B is the correct answer because it contains a dangling modifier, which is a type of misplaced modifier.

A dangling modifier occurs when a modifying phrase or clause in a sentence does not clearly and logically modify any specific word or phrase in the sentence. It "dangles" without a clear connection to the intended subject.

In Choice B, the phrase "that needed paint" is the dangling modifier. It is intended to modify either the old truck or the garage, but it is not clear which one. The sentence structure suggests that the truck is the one that needs paint, but the modifier is placed immediately after the word "garage," creating confusion.

The peer review process is never an easy one and takes a lot of time and attention.

The word crisis has a plural of “es” making B the right answer.

Who’s is the right replacement for whose because it shows “who is” responsible for something, which fits perfectly into the sentence.

Therefore is used to affirm the first part of the sentence into showing why the second one should be mentioned.

Forgetting to include an in-text citation is not intentional and probably means that the writer had already included a reference but forgotten about the in-text citation.

In Option A, the em dash is used to set off the list of tools (hammers, saws, chisels) from the main part of the sentence. The em dash indicates a stronger break than a comma and helps to provide clarity and emphasis on the list of tools the carpenter must use. The sentence is correctly punctuated, and the tools are appropriately separated by the em dash.

As the word states, “circum” is around, which is also descriptive of the word circumference, which shows the area around something.
