B
C
D
Correct Answer: D
Your Answer:
Explanation
D
In this Rules question, punctuation is changing in the answer choices. Look for independent clauses. The first part of the sentence says Throughout his life, Indian musician Ram Narayan brought attention to the instrument sarangi by, which ends with a preposition. There should not be punctuation after a preposition, so eliminate answers with punctuation.
(A), (B), and (C) are wrong because punctuation cannot come after a preposition.
(D) is correct because no punctuation should be used here.
