Answer 1

Hint: Punctuations marks - The marks (such as periods and commas) in a piece of writing that makes the meaning of the writing clear and separates it into sentences, clauses, etc.

Complete answer:

Option a ‘Sir Please Pardon me This time.’ Fulfills one of the rules of punctuations by adding a full stop at the end indicating that it is a statement. But the sentence needs another punctuation mark and there are more errors in the sentence. The capitalization of the words is wrongly used. So, this option is incorrect.
Option b ‘Sir, please pardon me this time.’ is the correct option. The comma placed after ‘Sir’ indicates a short pause meaning to address someone and the full stop shows the end of the statement. So, this option is the correct option.
Option c ‘Sir please pardon me this time.’ Is the incorrect option as the comma is missing which makes it grammatically incorrect.
Option d ‘Sir, please pardon me, this time.’ Is the incorrect option as there is no requirement of an extra comma after ‘Me’ because no pause is needed after the same. So, this option is an incorrect option.

Note: Punctuation marks can change the meaning of the sentence if not used properly.
