The 2nd sentence |
Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by zicoraads: 9:11am On May 03, 2022 |
I'm surprised no one got it right on the first page. 2 and 3 are both correct. 2 is called an Oxford comma. 3 is most commonly used in Nigeria. |

Sentence 2 is the right one. |

Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by Skidee: 9:14am On May 03, 2022 |
With the right use of commas, the correct answer is B which is the second line. If you've studied punctuations lately, you'll understand why it is B. |

graphics107:Even without Grammarly or Quilbot, one should be able to tell the second sentence is the right one. I'm surprised seeing alot of people like that comment that says the 3rd is the accurate one. 1 Like |

So i have seen situations where this your answer was correct, but ever since I failed in that job exam.. I just put that ", and" aside. But I will check on that app.. |

fattprince: Substandard? Don't make me laugh I'm not feeling well. Look, the English language has different variations. I speak the American version and you the British version. If both of us were to go to Sydney, Australia you'll hear another version entirely... Australian English. It's spoken and write in schools, offices, homes and the society in general. Learn to accommodate.. get used to it. You'll become more sophisticated that way. I could be wrong |
Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by NwokoloOwa: 9:19am On May 03, 2022 |
The 3rd option is the correct one. For the 2nd option, you can only use a comma before a conjuction when you are joining clause Eg. I will be travelling to Enugu first, and then to Port-Harcourt a day later. |

For those of you ambiguating the ambiguity, C is not the correct answer. B is the definitive and most accurate answer. Here is why.. When you use FLOUR and EGGS to cap up a sentence without using a comma between them, you're insinuating that both items are the same. AND is a conjunction that connotes positive. However, in the examples provided, we're well aware that Flour and Eggs are meant to be separate entities. FLOUR and Eggs can only be ONE when they are used immediately after a starting sentence. E.g You'll need Flour and Eggs, meat, and milk. However, in the options provided, we see that flour and eggs are two separate words. That brings us to the correct answer which is B. The answer boldy separate flour and eggs with a comma. |

Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by Danwakae(m): 9:21am On May 03, 2022 |
Holluwhakemmy: You are wrong .... The Second is correct.. the third is wrong becuase flour and eggs was not punctuated making it an entity which is not the message of the writter... It should be ...flour, and eggs. As such, the second is correct |
