Question

the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your answer. which sentence with a transition is punctuated correctly?

• triumph however, is never easily won.
• triumph, however, is never easily won.
• triumph, however is never easily won.
• triumph, however, is never easily won.

Explanation:

To determine the correct punctuation for a sentence with the transition "however", we use the rule that "however" as a conjunctive adverb (used to show contrast) should be set off by commas when it appears in the middle of a sentence. Let's analyze each option:

• First option: "Triumph however, is never easily won." – Missing a comma before "however", so incorrect.
• Second option: "Triumph, however, is never easily won." – "However" is properly set off by commas (before and after) as it interrupts the flow of the sentence to show contrast. This follows the punctuation rule for conjunctive adverbs in the middle of a sentence.
• Third option: "Triumph, however is never easily won." – Missing a comma after "however", so incorrect.
• Fourth option: There seems to be a typo ("Rhiumph" instead of "Triumph"), but even ignoring that, the structure is the same as the second option in terms of comma placement for "however", but the typo makes it incorrect. Assuming it's a typo and we focus on "however" placement, the second option is still correct as the fourth has a misspelling.

Answer:

B. Triumph, however, is never easily won. (Note: Assuming the fourth option has a typo, the second option is the correct one with proper punctuation for "however". If we consider the fourth option's typo as an error, the second option is the right choice.)
