Using Punctuation

Question 6 • CARE_24_25_TX-English IV B

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
My three sisters live in Gary, Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana, and Portland, Oregon.
B
The three available flavors are blueberry; apple, cinnamon, and maple; and raspberries and cream.
C
Next semester, Jonah plans to study algebra; chemistry; Spanish; and world history.

Explanation

Semicolons separate the three flavors in choice B, and they’re useful because one flavor name contains commas: “apple, cinnamon, and maple.” Choice A needs semicolons between the cities because their names include commas. Choice C uses semicolons for a simple list, which should be separated by commas.
