Question #N1435
The playwright, best known for his work in musical theatre, has won numerous awards, including a Tony Award, for his groundbreaking work in the genre. He was known for his use of innovative and challenging musical styles and for his profound ability to connect with audiences.
Which choice best combines the sentences at the underlined portion to maintain the style and tone of the passage?Correct Answer is: B
Choice B is the best option because it uses the correct punctuation and avoids an unnecessary comma. A comma after "awards" is needed to separate the introductory phrase from the rest of the sentence. Choice A is incorrect because it uses a comma after "Award" which creates a comma splice. Choice C is incorrect because it uses a comma after "work" which splits the modifying phrase unnecessarily. Choice D is incorrect because it is missing a comma after "awards" and therefore creates a comma splice.
