Solution

Answer

The answer is B. Jodie was one such child-one of luck, pluck, and foolishness.

Explanation

Option A: Jodie was one-such child one of luck, pluck, and foolishness.

This option incorrectly uses the dash. The phrase "one-such" should not be hyphenated, and there is no dash to separate the clause properly.

Option B: Jodie was one such child-one of luck, pluck, and foolishness.

This option correctly uses the dash to separate the clause "one of luck, pluck, and foolishness" from the main sentence. The dash here is used to add emphasis and provide additional information about the type of child Jodie was.

Option C: Jodie-was one such child one of luck, pluck, and foolishness.

This option incorrectly places the dash between "Jodie" and "was," which disrupts the natural flow of the sentence and does not provide the intended emphasis or separation.
