Explanation:

Punctuation is the use of the grammatical signs to indicate correct sentence construction. These marks make the sentence right, indicating how the sentence is to be read or taken. The signs may be of the comma, full-stop, question mark, or an exclamation mark, among others.

From the given options, the nest sentence that punctuates it correctly for a pause is the first option. The sentence reads "The ball slowly rolled around the  rim and finally, dropped through  the hoop.", putting the pause (comma) after finally, where the change in the sentence is made.

The other options' use of the pause in the sentence, (sentence B- comma after rolled and rim), (sentence C uses after rolled) while (sentence D used it after rim) are all wrong. "The ball rolled around the rim" is a free flow sentence with no need for a pause, while there is also no need for a pause after "rim".

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
