Question

Which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?

A) Because of the storm! the schools were closed yesterday.

B) Because, of the storm the schools, were closed yesterday.

C) Because of the storm. the schools were closed, yesterday?

D) none of these

Answer 1

D) None of these.
The correct way to punctuate the sentence would be “Because of the storm, the schools were closed yesterday.”. This is because “because” is a conjunction being used at the beginning of a sentence. In these cases, a comma is necessary between the two sections of the sentence that the conjunction would have connected had it not been at the start of the sentence. “The schools were closed yesterday because of the storm.”.

Answer 2

D none should be: Because of the storm, the schools were closed yesterday.
