There exists a considerable body of scholarship about how cities work in times of upheaval and catastrophe; about the ways that cities' inhabitants navigate through tumult and crisis.

Test Prep

There exists a considerable body of scholarship about how cities work in times of upheaval and catastrophe - about the ways that cities' inhabitants navigate through tumult and crisis. Hmmm… The dash is used to set off parenthetical material that deserves

emphasis, to set off appositives that contain commas, or to prepare the reader for a list, a restatement, an amplification or a dramatic shift in tone or thought. This phrase about the ways that cities' inhabitants navigate through tumult and crisis is none of these. Rather, it's a sentence fragment, and, more specifically, a subordinate clause. It has a subject and a verb, but because of the 'about' it needs to be affixed to something else to make sense. Give the answer another go.

There exists a considerable body of scholarship about how cities work in times of upheaval and catastrophe, about the ways that cities' inhabitants navigate through tumult and crisis. Well done!

  • Perfect. The two 'about' phrases here comprise a list; commas are used between

all items in a series. Next question ►
