Step 3: For each of the sentences below, select the choice that uses other punctuation marks correctly. If the original sentence is correct as it is, select "no change."

		1. Choose from the following which you think is America's favorite ice cream flavor, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coffee, or flavors with nuts.
		2. The answer is vanilla, with nearly thirty percent of sales: chocolate only accounts for about eight per cent of sales.
		3. (Which country do you think) consumes the most ice cream, you can probably guess this one easily)?
		4. The country consuming the most ice cream is, of course, the United States; some people would also call the U.S. the most self indulgent country.
		5. The typical American eats more than twenty-three quarts of ice cream—this figure also includes ice milk, sherbet, ices, and other commercially produced frozen dairy products—each year.
		6. The three American cities that lead all the others in consumption of ice cream per person are Portland, Oregon, St. Louis, Missouri, and Seattle, Washington.
		7. If you consider the time of year that you eat the most ice cream, then the following should be no surprise: July is National Ice Cream Month.
		8. A well researched study (randomly observing people on the street) concluded that, on average, it takes about fifty licks to finish off an ice cream cone with one scoop.
		9. If you'd like to know who eats the most ice cream, listen to this-children ages two through twelve and adults above age forty-four consume the most ice cream.
		10. America's favorite ice cream topping; sorry, strawberry lovers; is chocolate syrup.
		Step 4: Now that you have practiced recognizing the correct use of other punctuation marks, think about an experience you've had (or wish you'd had) with ice cream. Maybe you made ice cream at home, maybe a scoop fell out of your cone in the car, maybe it melted all over your hands before you could eat it, or maybe you have carefully tested all the available brands to see which one is the absolute best. Then write a paragraph in the box below using other punctuation marks to describe your experience with ice cream. Write five sentences, using a different punctuation mark from Chapter 30 in each one. After you finish, check your paragraph for correct usage of other punctuation marks, and make any necessary revisions.   To create paragraphs in your essay response, type <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, and </p> at the end.
