Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

The correct choice is **(A) movie, such**.

Here's why:

The sentence aims to provide an example of how odors were used in specific points within a movie. To smoothly introduce this example, a comma is necessary before the phrase "such as." This creates a clear and grammatically correct connection between the general statement and the specific example.

**Correct Sentence:**
"In 1959, the film industry debuted Smell-O-Vision. Theaters were fitted with specialized vents that emitted odors at specific points in a movie, such as the scent of roses when roses appeared in a scene. Smell-O Vision failed to impress, however, with one reviewer declaring it 'briefly weird and not very interesting.'"

**Option (A) Explanation:**
- **"movie, such"** correctly uses a comma to introduce an example.

**Other Options:**
- **(B) "movie. Such"** incorrectly splits the sentence, making "Such as..." a fragment.
- **(C) "movie; such"** misuses a semicolon, which is inappropriate here.
- **(D) "movie such"** lacks the necessary comma, resulting in a grammatical error.

**Answer:**  
**A) movie, such**
The correct choice is **(A) movie, such**.
