Questão 96764

The ellipsis (...) is a punctuation mark used to indicate an omission of words from a quoted text or to represent a pause or trailing off in thought. Its application in formal writing requires precision. When an omission occurs at the end of a sentence, the ellipsis is followed by a period, resulting in four dots. When an ellipsis is used to indicate a pause, it is treated as a single punctuation mark, with spaces on either side. Given these rules, which sentence below improperly uses an ellipsis?
