COMM11007; Week Eight: Quiz

Although I may consider myself to be a strong writer, punctuation has never been a strong suit of mine. In doing this quiz I achieved a near perfect score on the first attempt, but as ever must question some of the questions themselves. “An ellipsis is used to indicate something has been shortened within a sentence.” Would it not stand to reason that removing elements of a quote would in turn shorten it? This particular question bothered me as I feel they are one and the same, although the apparent correct answer was false.
