Among the given sentences, the sentence that contains the words and punctuation marks that best corrects any errors is option C. - - rather than seeing them in person. We used an em dash for this part because this phrase only serves an additional information in the sentence and does not affect that whole thought if omitted. Em dashes are sometimes used instead of commas.
