To determine which sentence is punctuated correctly, we need to check the placement of commas in each option.
Let's analyze each sentence:
1) "Paloma did not make it to work for, her car broke down on the freeway."
In this sentence, a comma is incorrectly placed after the word "for." Commas are typically used to separate independent clauses or items in a list, neither of which applies here. This sentence is punctuated incorrectly.
2) "Paloma did not make it to work for her car, broke down on the freeway."
In this sentence, a comma is incorrectly placed after the word "car." The comma should instead be placed before the word "for" to separate the dependent clause from the main clause. This sentence is punctuated incorrectly.
3) "Paloma did not make it to work, for her car broke down on the freeway."
In this sentence, a comma is correctly placed before the word "for." It separates the main clause "Paloma did not make it to work" from the explanatory dependent clause "for her car broke down on the freeway." This sentence is punctuated correctly.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Paloma did not make it to work, for her car broke down on the freeway."
