The 3rd one is correct cus when you are to list the last item you use "and" instead of comma again then full stop. |

gurunlocker: Second cannot be correct. When listen items you don't use comma before the and. You use and to end your listen. You don't use comma for the first item and with the last item also. 1 Like |

Sentences 2 and 3 are correct. 2 is generally preferred in US English while 3 is generally preferred in UK English. But consistency throughout a document is what matters most. 6 Likes |

Sentence 2 & 3 are correct. Unfortunately, the instruction requires only 1 correct answer. Depending on the examiner, respondents who choose either 2 or 3 will be scored correctly or wrongly. Regardless, they are both correct. Sentence 2 is the typical one we are all used to. In certain sentences, using the style would be wrong. That's why sentence 3 is used - the comma usage is regarded as the Oxford comma - to improve reading flow. Sentence 2 is mostly attributed to American style - some argue. Whereas, sentence 3 is British. In the end, they both have right and wrong usage. But, in the question, 2 & 3 are correct. If you quote me - because you're interested enough - I could look up comparative examples for you, just to clarify. Contrary opinion? Do share. 4 Likes |

DamnnNiggarr:The third or fourth sentence is correct. The fourth sentence, because of the Oxford comma. |
