Question 7 • English Language Arts 12

Which sentence contains a list that is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
My favorite foods include tamales- chicken and beef chimichangas.
B
For the camping trip, we packed a water bottle a nylon tent, and a fishing pole.
C
The farm we visited grew vegetables; fresh herbs; and flowers.
D
One day, I hope to own a car, a house, and a boat.

Explanation

Choice B correctly separates the three items in the list—“a car,” “a house,” and “a boat”—with commas, including a comma before “and.” Choice A uses a hyphen where punctuation separating list items is needed. Choice C uses semicolons unnecessarily, and choice D needs a comma after “a water bottle.”
