Question 5 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
Our class is learning, about plant cells and Reza’s class, is learning about animal cells.
B
Our class, is learning about plant cells and Reza’s class, is learning about animal cells.
C
Our class is learning about plant cells and Reza’s class is learning about animal cells.
D
Our class is learning about plant cells, and Reza’s class is learning about animal cells.

Explanation

The sentence has two independent clauses: “Our class is learning about plant cells” and “Reza’s class is learning about animal cells.” A comma belongs before “and” when it joins two independent clauses, so choice D is punctuated correctly. Choice C leaves out that comma.
