The female statue, crowned with a wreath of olive leaves, represents commerce. Crowned with a wreath of olive leaves, this female statue represents commerce. The wreath of olive leaves crowning the female statue, represents commerce

Respuesta :

"Crowned with a wreath of olive leaves, this female statue represents commerce" is the sentence among the following choices given in the question that correctly uses a comma to separate the introductory phrase. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option.

The correct answer is - Crowned with a wreath of olive leaves, this female statue represents commerce.


This is the best option because the comma is not stopping the sentence abruptly. Sentences A and D are definitely incorrect because the placement of the comma is wrong, and thus the entire sentence is awkward due to that stop. Sentence B could be correct, but it is better to place the phrase crowned with a wreath of olive leaves at the beginning of the sentence to help it flow better.
