Correct Punctuation for the Given Sentence
Comma
Explanation
The given sentence is a compound sentence that consists of two independent clauses. The first clause is "When I get home" and the second clause is "I go to brush my teeth." To join these two clauses, we need to use a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and,' 'but,' 'or,' 'nor,' 'for,' 'so,' or 'yet.' In the given sentence, we need to use a comma before 'I go to brush my teeth' to make it grammatically correct. Therefore, the correct sentence is:
When I get home, I go to brush my teeth.
Incorrect Options
a) Question mark: A question mark is used at the end of an interrogative sentence to indicate a direct question. The given sentence is not a direct question, so a question mark is not suitable here.
b) Full stop: A full stop (period) is used at the end of a declarative or imperative sentence. The given sentence has two independent clauses, so using a full stop after 'home' would make it a sentence fragment.
d) Exclamatory mark: An exclamation mark is used at the end of an exclamatory sentence to indicate strong feeling or emotion. The given sentence is not an exclamatory sentence, so an exclamation mark is not suitable here.
