• C. Bravo$1$ brave children are not afraid of darkness$1$
• D. "Bravo$!$" brave children are not afraid of darkness.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Bravo! Brave children are not afraid of darkness.

Option A is the correct answer. The word 'bravo' is used to express acclamation and is usually followed by an exclamation mark. The first word of both the statements starts with capitalized words, and the second statement correctly ends with a full stop.

Option B is incorrect because the second statement neither starts with a capitalized word nor does it end with a full stop.

Option C is definitely incorrect because of the use of the numeral '1' before and after the second statement which makes it inappropriate and out of place.

Inverted commas are used when a speaker’s words written down exactly as they were spoken. Since this is not the case here the inverted commas are incorrectly used. Moreover, the second statement does not start with a capitalized word, making option D incorrect as well.
