Test: Punctuation - 1 - Class 1 MCQ

• Punctuation is the correct use of various stops or pauses and various marks in writing so as to make the meaning of a sentence or passage clear.
• Option A is incorrect because we do not use a full stop (.) after abbreviations for titles, names, and degrees.
• Option B is incorrect as we always use capital letters to denote abbreviations for titles, names, and degrees.
  For e.g.- C.M., P.M., U.S.A, etc.
• Option C is incorrect as the first letter of the first word of every sentence is always capital.
  For e.g.- A mother loves her child.
• Hence, option d is the most appropriate choice. 

• The sentence always begins with a capital letter.
• To indicate a small pause after a word or a sentence, we use a comma. (,)
• Question mark (?) is used at the end of a sentence while asking a question.
• While stating a narration we use inverted commas (" ").
• Exclamation mark (!)  is used to indicate strong emotion.
• Hyphen (-) can be used to give a break in the sentence.
• Clearly, only option 4 is correct.

• Therefore, from the context of the sentence, no punctuation mark is needed after the word 'thy'.
   

Hence, the correct answer is option b.

• The phrase "whatever is, is right" refers to the situation when "right" isn't being used in the context of right and wrong or in the moral sense of the word.
