Question

read this text. golfer nancy lopez, a twenty - one - year - old rookie, beat joanne carner after the very first hole in a sudden death playoff at the coca - cola classic in 1978. is this an appropriate use of an ellipsis? \golfer nancy lopez, a twenty - one - year - old rookie, beat joanne carner... at the coca - cola classic in 1978.\ yes no, because the text with an ellipsis no longer has the same meaning

Explanation:

An ellipsis is used to omit non - essential information while keeping the main meaning. In the original text, the key elements are Nancy Lopez (golfer), her age (twenty - one - year - old rookie), the opponent (JoAnne Carner), the event (Coca - Cola Classic in 1978). The omitted part “after the very first hole in a sudden death playoff” is non - essential for the main idea of Nancy Lopez beating JoAnne Carner at the Coca - Cola Classic in 1978.

Answer:

yes
