Question

Choose the option with the correct punctuation marks:
please do help me will you

• A. Please do help me, will you!
• B. Please do help me, will you?
• C. Please do help me! will you ?
• D. Please do help me, will you.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Please do help me, will you?

There are two parts in the given sentence. These two parts have to be connected with a comma.

The first part begins with the word, 'Please'. This indicates an imperative sentence. An imperative sentence is one which gives a command, makes a request, or expresses a wish. At the end of the imperative sentence, a question fragment i.e 'will you?' has been added. The question fragment has to be completed with a question mark.

Option A: This is incorrect as the question fragment ends with an exclamation mark, instead of a question mark.

Option B: Here, the two parts of the sentence are connected with a comma. The question fragment ends with a question mark. Hence, this option is correctly punctuated and is the right answer.

Option C: This is incorrect as the imperative part of the sentence ends with an exclamation mark instead of a comma.

Option D: This is incorrect as the question fragment ends with a full stop instead of a question mark.
