Read the letter Marshall has written for a class assignment. Which phrase in the letter is a parenthetical element that lacks punctuation? Dear Valerie,
How are you? Last evening I was at the marathon. I was surprised to see the number of runners. Even my teacher Mr. Gilbert was running. I really enjoyed the run, although it was tiring. Thanks for training me so well. I didn’t win, though. Two kids from my school Jamie Lynn and Brendan John were the winners. They received gold medals.
See you soon,
Marshall
