Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

A The comma after the word heartbreak is a punctuation error.

B Proper nouns are not bolded.

C The film's title is not in italics.

D The word nuances is not spelled correctly.

E There should be a colon after the word beats.

Answer:

A. The comma after the word heartbreak is a punctuation error.

Explanation:

The word "and" after the word "heartbreak" is concluding an enumeration, where the author of the text lists human emotions that can be felt when the film is watched. When the word "and" is used to complete an enumeration, it must not be preceded by a comma, as the author of the text did, as this leaves the text incorrect.

In this case, we can say that the author's mistake was to put a comma after the word "heartbreak".
