Which punctuation correction would improve the following sentence? At first I felt very angry bitter and hateful but then I felt so hopeless and depressed. I longed for her to call me. (5 points)

Respuesta :

you should probably put commas when you are listing things like for instance when you are listing how you felt u should write it like this:

"...very angry, bitter, and hateful..."

Try this, I hope it helps.

Answer:

The punctuation correction would improve the following sentence:

At first I felt very angry bitter and hateful but then I felt so hopeless and depressed. I longed for her to call me

Is:

a comma in

then, I felt

Explanation:

The reason behind this is because it is a composed sentence, in other words, both can exist without the other. However, in this case, they complement each other to provide more information about the situation. But they are still two different ideas, therefore we need to specify that they are two different ideas. If we add a comma between then, and I. We are separating the ideas with a dependence without breaking the meaning or their consecutiveness.
