Question

Put ellipsis (...) in the correct place in the following sentence:-
Mother : Why are you ?

Son (interrupting) : Bye.

• A. after 'why'
• B. NO change
• C. after 'Bye'
• D. after 'you'

Answer 1

The correct option is D after 'you'

An ellipsis is a series of dots, typically three, that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning.

In this case, the son interrupts his mother and doesn't let her complete her words which obviously get lost in thin air. So, the ellipsis has to be put after 'you' to signify the unsaid words of the mother. Hence, Option D is correct.
