Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

She began to panic. but then she remembered her training and started using her nose to sniff out a way home.

2

Clue

Punctuations in a sentence help in ending, pausing, and emphasizing.

3

Hint

A comma is more appropriate than a period because the period ends the incomplete clause.

4

Choice.A

She began to panic. but then she remembered her training and started using her nose to sniff out a way home.

The sentence lacks proper punctuation. The phrase "but then" creates a compound sentence, so a comma is needed before "but."

No change

5

Choice.B

She began to panic, but then she remembered her training and started using her nose to sniff out a way home.

The sentence is correct in terms of grammar and punctuation. It effectively uses a comma to separate the introductory phrase ("She began to panic") from the main clause ("but then she remembered…​"). Additionally, it employs proper punctuation with commas to indicate the sequence of events within the main clause.

panic, but then

6

Choice.C

She began to panic: but then she remembered her training and started using her nose to sniff out a way home.

The sentence lacks a proper punctuation after "panic" creating a run-on sentence. Proper punctuation is essential for clarity which is absent here.

panic: but then

7

Choice.D

She began to panic' but then she remembered her training and started using her nose to sniff out a way home.

The sentence lacks a comma after "panic," resulting in a run-on sentence. This sentence doesn’t separates the two independent clauses with a proper punctuation.

panic' but then
