Hi there, I'm wondering about the use of the comma after "strength" in this sentence:
Though his physical strength is obvious, the character exhibits another form of strength, an inner, emotional stability rarely seen in a boy his age.
It seems misplaced to me but I can't figure out why. Should the comma be replaced with a colon? An explanation with your opinion would be appreciated!
Thanks.
I would use the comma. The words following the comma explain "strength".
