To check the answers, let's go through each sentence:
11. The sentence is: "The zoo has recently acquired pandas, giraffes, and lions." The correct place for the comma is after "giraffes" as it separates the different items in a list. So, the correct answer is C. After giraffes.
12. The sentence is: "Hector, would you please relax?" The comma should be used to set off the person's name as a form of direct address, which is "Hector" in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is D. After Hector.
15. The sentence is: "Considering the idea of a makeshift camp, he shuddered." The comma is necessary to set off the introductory phrase "Considering the idea of a makeshift camp." Thus, the correct answer is A. After considering.
17. The sentence is: "Hector heard the laughter and the music, and he realized they would not have to sleep in the woods after all." Since the sentence has two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "and," a comma is needed before the conjunction to separate the clauses. Therefore, the correct answer is not A. After music, but it is missing as an option.
