None of your answers are right. You are guessing again.
Correction: None of your answers is right.
15. The correct answer is to insert a comma. To determine the answer, look for the part of the sentence that separates two independent clauses ("I had headaches" and "wondered if I needed a new prescription"). In this case, a comma is needed to join the two independent clauses together.
16. The correct answer is to add the word "and". To determine the answer, look for the part of the sentence that connects two items in a list ("flour, salt, and baking soda") with another action. In this case, the word "and" is needed to indicate the continuation of the action.
17. The correct answer is to insert a comma. To determine the answer, look for the part of the sentence that connects a subordinate clause ("The movie was over") with the main clause ("everyone really seemed to enjoy it"). In this case, a comma is needed to separate the two clauses.
18. The correct answer is to insert a comma and the word "for". To determine the answer, look for the part of the sentence that provides a reason or explanation ("I have to buy several gifts to mail to friends and family who live out of state"). In this case, a comma is needed to separate the reason/explanation from the main clause, and the word "for" is needed to introduce the reason/explanation.
19. I'm sorry, but you didn't provide question 19. Could you please provide the question so I can help you with the answer?
20. The correct answer is to insert a period and make two separate sentences. To determine the answer, look for the part of the sentence that provides two distinct ideas or actions ("I plan to go shopping for Christmas gifts soon" and "I have to buy several gifts to mail to friends and family who live out of state"). In this case, a period is needed to separate the two ideas into separate sentences.
