Problem

Why are you so excited about the concert next week. and do you have a favorite song you hope they will perform live during the show!

2

Clue

To select the correct punctuation, identify whether the second part of the sentence forms a new independent question. When two complete questions appear together, the punctuation must clearly separate them without breaking grammatical flow while preserving the correct question mark at the end of the entire sentence.

3

Hint

When one complete question follows another in the same sentence, use a comma + coordinating conjunction to join them while keeping only one question mark at the very end.

Sumup

Choices

5

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect. The period after “week” ends the first question prematurely, and the exclamation mark at the end is inappropriate because the second part is a question, not an exclamation. This punctuation disrupts meaning and prevents the sentence from functioning as a single cohesive question.

Wrong No change

6

Choice-B

Choice B is correct. The comma after “next week” properly connects the first and second questions with the coordinating conjunction “and,” allowing the sentence to flow naturally as a combined question. The final question mark is correct because the whole sentence expresses inquiry.

Correct next week, and do you have a favorite song you hope they will perform live during the show?

7

Choice-C

Choice C is incorrect. An apostrophe after “week” is grammatically meaningless in this context, and the forward slash at the end is not a punctuation mark used to end a sentence or indicate a question. Both marks distort the structure and meaning of the sentence.

Wrong next week' and do you have a favorite song you hope they will perform live during the show/

8

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. A colon after “week” suggests an explanation or list, not a second question. The period at the very end incorrectly signals a statement instead of a question, even though the sentence is clearly phrased as a question.

Wrong next week: and do you have a favorite song you hope they will perform live during the show.
