Question 1 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_1001370_English 3_S2_2015

Which sentence is written correctly?

Answer
A
Maggie broke her leg, while jumping into the pool, and has to wear a cast for eight weeks.
B
Snow cones, a tasty treat, can be found in many delicious flavors.
C
The musicians, performed their hit songs, at the weekend concert.
D
Mike, has lost 40 pounds, because he started eating healthy and running each day.

Explanation

B is correct because “a tasty treat” is a nonessential phrase that adds information about snow cones, so commas properly set it off. A incorrectly separates “while jumping into the pool” from the sentence with commas. C and D place commas between a subject and its verb.
