Question:
On paper there (a) was nothing wrong with (b) the artists' proposal (c) to build the statue honoring the former governor (d). No error (e)
Choices:
The correct answer is (A). Sentences that
begin with an introductory phrase generally need to contain a comma to offset
the phrase. Read the sentence aloud and you may hear the natural pause between
'paper' and 'there.' This is because of the way in which introductory phrases
affect sentences, setting up a place, format or situation in which the rest of
the sentence's actions will unfold. The correct answer is A because there
should be a comma after 'paper.'
