Question #N479
The world's oldest known intact ship, the 5,000-year-old *Sunken* *Ship* of *Uluburun,* is *located* off the coast of Turkey.
Which choice provides the most effective and grammatically correct way to rewrite the underlined portion of the passage?
A. Sunken Ship of Uluburun
B. Sunken Ship, of Uluburun
C. Sunken Ship, Uluburun
D. Sunken Ship of Uluburun,
Correct Answer is: A
The correct answer is A because it is the most concise and grammatically correct way to combine the three underlined words, avoiding unnecessary punctuation. Choice B uses a comma after "Ship" which is not needed. Choice C uses a comma after "Ship" and does not have a preposition following "of" which is also incorrect. Choice D incorrectly adds a comma after "Uluburun" and does not follow the rule for using commas after prepositions.
