Using Semicolons and Commas

Question 10 • 2025/26 IGC-English I - Prescriptive

Which sentence uses a comma correctly?

Answer
A
The pyramids in Egypt are a popular attraction, that many visit each year.
B
Most of the pyramids are grouped together, and are west of the Nile River.
C
One of the most famous pyramids in the group, is called the Pyramid of Giza.
D
The Pyramid of Giza was built thousands of years ago, yet it remains intact.

Explanation

A comma can correctly join two independent clauses when they are connected by a coordinating conjunction such as “yet.” In D, “The Pyramid of Giza was built thousands of years ago” and “it remains intact” are both complete clauses. The other choices place a comma between parts that should not be separated, such as a noun and its describing clause or a subject and its verb.
