Identify the sentence that is punctuated correctly.
A. She is wearing a new yellow dress, and looks clean and neat.
B. The Kingdom of Bahrain has a settled well-educated population.
C. He thinks that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
D. Working 9-5 daily, and keeping up with homework is difficult.
D
Incorrect.
The correct sentence that is punctuated correctly is A. "She is wearing a new yellow dress, and looks clean and neat."
To determine the correct answer, you need to review the punctuation in each sentence. Let's analyze each option:
A. "She is wearing a new yellow dress, and looks clean and neat." - This sentence uses a comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" to join two independent clauses. This is the correct use of punctuation in this context.
B. "The Kingdom of Bahrain has a settled well-educated population." - This sentence lacks any punctuation, making it incorrect. It could benefit from a comma after "settled" to separate two adjectives.
C. "He thinks that an apple a day keeps the doctor away." - This sentence is correctly punctuated. It uses a period to indicate the end of a complete thought.
D. "Working 9-5 daily, and keeping up with homework is difficult." - This sentence uses a comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" but lacks a subject for the second independent clause. It should be revised to "Working 9-5 daily and keeping up with homework is difficult."
Therefore, option A is the only sentence that is punctuated correctly.
