Question 2 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Which sentence correctly uses commas to offset a phrase in the sentence?

Answer
A
It may take me months, if not years, to train for a marathon.
B
My dog a poodle named, Toby, will do tricks for food.
C
My cousin who lives in another state, will visit us, this fall.
D
I went, to a late-night rock concert, with my best friend.

Explanation

The phrase “if not years” adds extra information and is correctly set off with a comma before and after it. In B, the commas incorrectly separate “named” from “Toby.” C has a comma that wrongly separates the subject from the verb, and D incorrectly sets off the phrase “to a late-night rock concert.”
