The ellipses is a punctuation mark, marked by three dots '. . .' and indicates an omission of a word or phrase. While quoting material, you generally want to include only information that is relevant to your work, and omit the remaining irrelevant part. This is done by replacing it with an ellipses. It is also used in informal writing to represent the trailing off of thought, for example, 'I still can't believe he...'. Hence options A and C are correct. Option B states the function of a colon mark ':', for example, 'There's only one thing you can do now: run!'. Option D states the function of a full stop '.'. Since options B and D do not state the functions of ellipses, they're incorrect.

An ellipsis is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate a missing word or phrase, without which the sentence is still complete in meaning. It is represented by three dots '. . .'. In the given sentence, the ellipses has an error, because there are only two dots seen, hence it needs to be changed and option A is incorrect. "Should do . . .," has the correct form of an ellipses, hence option B is correct. "Should do .," has a full stop, it doesn't have an ellipses, hence option C is incorrect. "Should do . . . .," has four dots in its ellipses, whereas it's supposed to have three, hence option D is incorrect.

An ellipsis is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate a missing word or phrase, without which the sentence is still complete in meaning. It is represented by three dots '. . .' and this is seen in option C; the ellipses here a trailing off of thought. Hence option C is correct. The punctuation marks seen in option A are a comma ',' and a full stop, the former indicates a pause in a sentence and the latter ends a sentence. In option B we spot a colon mark ':' which precedes a list, like the one given ("apples, pears and some mangoes"), a comma ',' and a full stop. In option D we spot a semi-colon ';' (when the clause that follows is independent) and a full stop. We don't spot the ellipses '. . .' in options A, B and D, hence they're incorrect.

The ellipses is a punctuation mark, marked by three dots '. . .' and indicates an omission of a word or phrase. While quoting material, you generally want to include only information that is relevant to your work, and omit the remaining irrelevant part. This is done by replacing it with an ellipses. It is also used in informal writing to represent the 'trailing off' of thought, like all the options given. In options A, B and C the sentences end with an ellipses '. . . ' and a full stop '.', hence they all end with four dots. The sentence in D has the ellipses but the full stop is missing. As we need to identify the option with the error, we choose option D, and A, B and C being correct, do not have to be chosen.
