Correctly punctuate/create the complex sentences below.
Lady bird [2778]

Answer:

The proper punctuation should be as follows:

Explanation:

  1. After having lunch at the cafeteria, Ben proceeded to the gym for a swim. A comma should follow the term cafeteria to demarcate these two clauses.
  2. As a result of the storm damage, the ferry service will be suspended today. Again, a comma is necessary to distinguish between the clauses.
  3. The scheduled training session for the company, originally set for Tuesday, has been postponed. In this case, the appositive (the added information about the training session) should be enclosed in commas or parentheses to separate it from the main clause.
  4. If you plan to attend college this fall, don’t forget to register for a discount card. Since the dependent clause starts the sentence (If you plan to attend college this fall), a comma should follow it, similar to the first sentence.
