Read the excerpt from “Votes for Women,” a speech by Mark Twain from 1901.

As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer – and there is no reason why I shouldn't – I think I'll see women handle the ballot.

Which quotation correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Twain’s words?

Sagot :

Answer: As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame - a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.

Explanation:

The ellipsis which is sometimes called dot-dot-dot, simply refers to some dots that are used to show an omission of a word which is done intentionally in a sentence without the original meaning the sentence being changed.

The quotation that correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Twain’s words is "As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame - a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot".
