Question 1 • SHS Alt English 4 S1 - 2021

Which sentence requires a comma between the adjectives?

Answer
A
Elsa got a young golden retriever last month.
B
Luke surprised me with 12 purple balloons.
C
We bought sweet juicy grapes at the market.
D
I used colorful construction paper for a card.

Explanation

“Sweet” and “juicy” both describe the grapes equally, so they are coordinate adjectives. You can say “sweet and juicy grapes,” which shows that a comma belongs between them: “sweet, juicy grapes.” The other choices have adjectives that work together or form a phrase, so they do not need a comma.
