The American writer and humorist Samuel Langhorne Clemens was also known as Mark Twain. He spoke out for women’s right to vote. Ellipsis is the situation in which words are left out in a sentence but the sentence can still be understood.

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

D. 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.

Answer from: elian1418

The answer that correctly made use of ellipsis in the shortening of Twains 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.What is an ellipsis?

This is a superfluous speech. It is a symbol that is done in speech writing using three dots.

The use of these dots shows that the speaker or the writer has intentionally omitted some words in the sentence.
