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... 1 Like |

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. 3 Likes |

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. 1 Like |

The 3rd sentence is correct. The second is wrong. You don't use a comma before the conjunction 'and'. |

Killmaster1: 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. |

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. |
