Which punctuation mark should go in the underlined space to show a pause in the dialogue?
"i need to go to the store and stop by the salon for a haircut," said sarah.
a . .
b —
c ,
d .

B) Comma

Commas are used to divide or separate parts of a sentence in order to make their meaning clear and make the sentence easier to read. Commas are used to mark a brief pause in the sentence, just like we take pause  while speaking rather than writing.

The correct answer is C = Comma - ,

Explanation:

It isn't A because (. . .) is for a long pause, and the question says pause not long pause. It isn't B because (--) is a long hesitation and the question is asking for a normal pause. Finally, it isn't D because (.) is to end a sentence and the question is asking for a pause not to finish the sentence and start a new one. The only correct option is C.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
