To determine which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly, we need to analyze the placement of commas in each option.
1) "Mississippi the Magnolia State, is known for its delicious food." - This sentence is not correctly punctuated. It places a comma after "Mississippi," which is incorrect because the comma should come after the word "State."
2) "Mississippi the Magnolia State, is known for its delicious food." - This sentence is not correctly punctuated for the same reason mentioned in option 1.
3) "Mississippi, the Magnolia State is known for its delicious food." - This sentence is not correctly punctuated. It places a comma after "Mississippi," which is correct, but there should also be a comma after "State" to separate the appositive phrase "the Magnolia State" from the rest of the sentence.
4) "Mississippi, the Magnolia State, is known for its delicious food." - This sentence is correctly punctuated. It places a comma after "Mississippi" and another comma after "State," correctly separating the appositive phrase from the main part of the sentence.
5) "Mississippi the Magnolia State is known for its delicious, food." - This sentence is not correctly punctuated. It places a comma after "delicious," which is incorrect because the comma should not be used to separate adjectives within a list.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: "Mississippi, the Magnolia State, is known for its delicious food."
