Question

My favorite dish, however, was a simple one: chicken and dumplings.

Which option provides the correct punctuation for the sentence?

1) NO CHANGE
2) moreover
3) naturally
4) then

Answer 1

The original sentence uses correct punctuation, so 'NO CHANGE' is the proper choice as it correctly uses 'however' to indicate a contrast.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence "My favorite dish, however, was a simple one: chicken and dumplings." already uses correct punctuation with the word 'however' to indicate a contrast or exception. Option 1, 'NO CHANGE', is therefore the correct choice. The use of 'however' suggests that despite there being other dishes, the speaker's preference was for the simple dish of chicken and dumplings.
