Answer to #1

TRUE
Indirect quotations, which are restatements of a person's exact words introduced by the word
that, are not enclosed in quotation marks. Direct quotations are always enclosed in quotation
marks.

Answer to #2

FALSE
When a dash is used to set off words within a sentence, a semicolon does not follow the dash.
No punctuation ever follows a dash. Dashes are used to set off words at the end of a sentence
or within a sentence.

Answer to #3

TRUE
Capitalize the first word following a colon if it begins a complete sentence requiring special
emphasis or if it begins a sentence stating a formal rule. Colons make readers pause and take
note of what follows.

Answer to #4

TRUE
When using consecutive adjectives in writing, no comma follows the last adjective in a
seriesthat is, no comma separates the last adjective from the noun. Consecutive adjectives
are adjectives that come together but separately modify a noun.

Answer to #5

FALSE
Commas are often needed after infinitive phrases, participial phrases, and prepositional
phrases. These are types of introductory phrases.

Answer to #6

TRUE
Effective writers use commas to connect thoughts and to separate elements within sentences.
Commas let readers know when they should pause and slow down.

Answer to #7

TRUE
Comma splices may be remedied by using a semicolon or a conjunctive adverb. A comma
splice is a comma by itself used to join two independent clauses. Instead, a period is needed.

Answer to #8

FALSE
If the introductory statement for a numbered list is grammatically complete, do not use periods
after the items in the list. If each item in a list is a complete sentence or a long phrase, use a
period.
