Question 7 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC

Which sentence correctly uses commas?

Answer
A
I don’t like watching a lot of TV, but, I really enjoy going to the movies.
B
My teacher who has lived, in several countries, speaks five languages.
C
My aunt, illustrates books, writes stories, and teaches art classes.
D
I slipped several times as I made my way up the steep, wet, rocky trail.

Explanation

D correctly uses commas to separate the coordinate adjectives “steep,” “wet,” and “rocky” before the noun “trail.” You can place “and” between the adjectives—“steep and wet and rocky trail”—so commas are appropriate. A incorrectly places a comma after “but,” and B and C add commas where they interrupt the sentence unnecessarily.
