Answer:

The correct answer is D. tellers-ran

Explanation:

The error is this: when a dash is used, probably when a modifying phrase is inserted between subject and predicate, the dash should be set off on both sides not just one.

In the text, a dash is used before "including the manager and the tellers" there should be a dash after it and not a comma as was used.

When punctuation marks don't match, like the text where there was a dash before and a comma after, it becomes incorrect.

Other options are wrong because they had a case of non-matching punctuation marks while with option E, there is no need for an apostrophe or quotation marks in the text.

Answer:

(D) tellers-ran

Explanation:

Since there is a '-' before 'including' there should also be one after 'tellers'
