Explanation
Answer: A - “The rule on negligence includes . . . breach of duty . . .” Answer A is the correct choice because a period is required at the end of the sentence following the second set of ellipses. Answer B is not correct because it correctly uses only three ellipses to remove words from the middle of a sentence. Answer C is not correct because it correctly uses three ellipses and a capital letter in brackets to remove words from the beginning of a sentence. Answer D is not correct because it correctly uses three ellipses followed by a comma to remove words from a sentence but retain grammatically correct punctuation.
