add two dashes to the following sentence:

Explanation:

1. In the sentence "The ocean current carried the boat far from shore", "current" refers to the flow of water (ocean water here). Option A defines "current" as the flow of water or air moving in one direction, which matches.
2. For using definition C (flow of electricity), a sentence could be: "The strong current in the wires made the lights flicker."
3. The theme of a story is an observation about life or human nature.
4. For adding dashes: "Ms. Bauer and Mrs Boyle—the two funniest teachers in the school—are the best." The dashes are used to set off the non - essential appositive phrase "the two funniest teachers in the school".

Answer:

1. A. The flow of water or air moving in one direction
2. The strong current in the wires made the lights flicker.
3. 3. An observation about life or human nature
4. Ms. Bauer and Mrs Boyle—the two funniest teachers in the school—are the best.
