    • The 123, team skilled, and full of energy, stayed awake throught the night waiting for nothing to happen at all.

    • The 123 team skilled: and, full of energy stayed awake throught the night waiting for nothing to happen at all

    • The 123 team, skilled and full of energy, stayed awake through out the night waiting for nothing to happen at all.

    Correct Answer
    A. The 123 team, skilled and full of energy, stayed awake through out the night waiting for nothing to happen at all.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The 123 team, skilled and full of energy, stayed awake through out the night waiting for nothing to happen at all." This is the correct answer because it properly uses punctuation (commas) to separate the different elements of the sentence. The phrase "skilled and full of energy" is set off by commas to indicate that it is a non-essential element of the sentence. Additionally, the phrase "throughout the night" is spelled correctly, and the word "nothing" is spelled correctly as well.

Finally, it states that the CFO will not be at the office today, indicating her absence.
