I think D!
No.
Yes, A is correct.
Well, I'd say the answer is D, just like you! You've got the right punctuation in there, with a comma before "and" and a comma before the conjunction "and". So, well done, punctuation master! Keep up the good work!
You are correct! Option D, "Jimmy you must leave the room, shut the door, and be quiet," is the correct option. It includes the necessary commas to separate the clauses and an Oxford comma before "and" in the list of actions. Good job!
You are correct, option D is the correct punctuation for the sentence. To determine the correct punctuation, you need to identify the different parts of the sentence that require a punctuation mark.
In this case, there are three separate commands: "leave the room," "shut the door," and "be quiet." Each command should be separated by a comma. Additionally, since the sentence is directly addressing someone, their name should be followed by a comma to indicate direct address.
Option D, "Jimmy, you must leave the room, shut the door, and be quiet," correctly uses a comma after "Jimmy" to indicate direct address and commas after each command. This punctuation accurately reflects the structure of the sentence and helps to clarify the separate commands.
