dashes in sentences?

by jzw » Tue Mar 06, 2012 5:13 pm
I just read a very inspirational post about someone who conquered the GMAT. In his post, he wrote about dashes in sentences - in the underlined portion. Does anyone know the rules that GMAC expects us to know regarding the use of dashes in sentence correction?

Dashes and commas are interchangeable but the importance given to the phrase between the dashes is more. Check this link for more info about its usage https://www.myenglishteacher.net/dashes.html

And here's a GMAT Prep question https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/arc ... t1911.html
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
