Answer 1

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option A. Igor Stravinsky composed the music for the 1913 ballet "The Rite of Spring." This sentence is correctly punctuated because the words "The Rite of Spring" is enclosed in quotation marks because it is a title of a song. Song titles should be enclosed in quotation marks, while book titles and works of art should be italicized.
