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
okay there should be comma before and. Thanks

Well, as a bit of an English expert, no. 2 or 3 is fine. But it's sometimes preferable to use no 3: the no comma before and rule.


Meanwhile, check my signature.

Peace...

Both B and C are correct.
B is written in American style while C is written in British style.
The comma before 'and' is called Oxford comma.

This is wrong. You don't put comma and "and" together.
Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by Burgerlomo: 10:55am On May 03, 2022

Second sentence
Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by scottyoloye(m): 11:02am On May 03, 2022
The second sentence. A comma will always come before the “and” if there are more than two elements.

The 3rd sentence is correct.
The second is wrong. You don't use a comma before the conjunction 'and'.
Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by bluefilm: 11:29am On May 03, 2022

The second.take note

I bow o. And some folks were confidently fingering the third sentence as the correct one. A comma must precede a conjunction. There are exceptions in cases like "Mr A and Mr B have arrived". However, according to Op's question the second sentence is the winner.

Re: Which Of These Sentences Used Commas Correctly? (Screenshot) by tarantino1: 12:22pm On May 03, 2022
I love Oxford commas so I'll go with B. If this was an exam, I'll pick C though cos most
scholars hate Oxford commas.

So while B is technically correct, C is the universally accepted answer.
