which of the following sentences is correctly punctuated? 1. Everyone has special skills some people use them very well. 2 .Everyone has special skills; some people use them very well. 3 .Everyone has special skills and, some people use them very well. 4. Everyone has special skills; and, some people use them very well.

Explanation:

1 is not the answer. Some sort of punctuation is needed after skill. The way it is written is a run on.

2. Of the answers given, this answer is the best choice. A full colon would be even better.

3. The comma is misplaced in three. Leave out the comma and this answer would be correct.

4. Again the comma is too much. So is the and really.

I would choose B but I think a colon works better.

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
