Read the paragraph.Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal cat, Max.Which sentence contains a comma error?

Answer
A
Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family.
B
However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal cat, Max.
C
I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom.
D
I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play soccer with me.

Explanation

Choice D is missing a comma after the nonessential description “who is an excellent athlete.” The sentence should read, “I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.” The other sentences use commas correctly: A separates an introductory clause, B follows the introductory word “However,” and C separates items in a series.
