Hi, When you have a sentence that has the answer choice shown under the blank line, how would this be brailled? Attached is an example. Some of these have the answer on the line also. How would we braille these and what rule shows this. We are not finding any examples. Thank You.

Hi, I meant to let you know that there are proofreader comments handwritten on this page. Please ignore those. Thanks

Braille these answer choices that are in in parentheses following the blank line for the answer with a space before and after the parentheses and continue on with the sentence.

Thank you. In the sentence that has the answer on the line and the answser choices below, would you then just put that in italics after the blank and answer choices? Do you think a TN would be needed here?

Did not notice that sample answer provided in the blank to the first question with all the other written in comments. Braille the sample answer in italics as you suggest and follow it with the answer choices in parentheses. The sample answer simply takes the places of the blank to fill in. No TN. This will be clear to the reader.

I will suggest another option which is to omit the space between the double dash and the opening parenthesis. This method is based on Rule 14, section 6(b) “Inserted words or phrases with no deletions shown.” Granted this is not in the exercises rule, but Rule 14 seems to be a catch-all type of rule and it is sometimes true that what we are looking for appears where we do not expect it. Examples 62 and 70 also model this option.
