Answer 1

Hint: Every sentence should start with a capital letter, according to the common rule. In every sentence, the letter 'I' should be capitalised when referring to yourself. The use of a comma should be avoided when an independent sentence is followed by a dependent clause.

Complete answer:
The given question is where we have to punctuate the particular sentence in the correct format as per the rules of Punctuation.
Option A – the sentence mentioned was not correctly punctuated hence the option a is not the right one, as it mentions about NO CHANGE.
Option B – According to the general rule of punctuation the letter ‘I’ should always be capitalized as an individual; it represents the noun as such the person. But in this option answer it was not made to be capitalized in all the individual ‘I’. Hence option B is not the correct one.
Option C – The option consists of the statements where the comma was placed in many disorder places and similarly the letter ‘I’ was not capitalized hence it also remains the wrong one. Thus, the option c is not the correct one.
Option D - Any sentence should start with a capital letter, according to the general rule. In any sentence, the letter 'I' should be capitalized when referring to yourself. The use of a comma should be avoided when an independent clause is preceded by a dependent clause. As a result, Option D is the correct answer according to the rules. The rest of the choices are wrong.

Hence the correct answer is Option D – Didn’t I tell you that I was going to leave for USA tomorrow?

Note: Punctuation is used to indicate pauses and to emphasise specific ideas or thoughts that are discussed in the text. Punctuation accuracy is very important in academic writing as it serves to strengthen arguments made in the text.
