Question #N103

The first time I went to the art museum, it was crowded with people, and the lines to see the most popular works were long. However, I was able to get a glimpse of the famous painting, "The Starry Night." The curator told me that the artist, Vincent van Gogh, had a turbulent life, which is reflected in the art he made. He struggled with mental health issues, and he died young, but his paintings have inspired generations of artists.

Which of the following revisions is needed to correct the punctuation error in the passage?
A. However, I was able to get a glimpse of the famous painting "The Starry Night."
B. However, I was able to get a glimpse of the famous painting, "The Starry Night."
C. However, I was able to get a glimpse of the famous painting, "The Starry Night."
D. However, I was able to get a glimpse of the famous painting "The Starry Night".

Correct Answer is: A

The correct answer is A. In this sentence, the introductory phrase 'However, I was able to get a glimpse of the famous painting' is followed by a comma and then by the title of the painting, 'The Starry Night'. The title of the painting should not be set off by commas. This sentence does not require any commas. The other choices are incorrect because they all include commas that are not needed.
