Which sentence is punctuated incorrectly?
A.) When you get there, you will see him, of course.

C.) Needless to say, nobody thought that her joke was particularly funny.
D.) The story was, far too long and way too dull, in my opinion. ****
I am not sure here...at first I read the question wrong - but now I am unsure...I think D is incorrect because of the "and"
please guide me
D is incorrect, the comma after "was" is not needed.
So, yes, D would be your answer.
Thank you Johnny...I have one more if you would look at it
Sure! What is it?
I posted it by itself
Yeah, it's D because the first comma is unnecessary
To identify the sentence that is punctuated incorrectly, you can examine each option and analyze the punctuation usage. Let's go through each sentence:
A.) When you get there, you will see him, of course.
This sentence is correctly punctuated with a comma for a non-restrictive clause ("of course") providing additional information.
B.) Hey, Chris, do you want to watch the game on TV tonight?
This sentence is correctly punctuated with commas used to set off the person's name.
C.) Needless to say, nobody thought that her joke was particularly funny.
This sentence is correctly punctuated with commas used to set off the introductory phrase "Needless to say."
D.) The story was, far too long and way too dull, in my opinion. ****
Option D appears to have an incorrect punctuation. The correct punctuation for this sentence should use either hyphens or dashes instead of commas. So, the corrected version could be: "The story was—far too long and way too dull—in my opinion." or "The story was - far too long and way too dull - in my opinion."
Based on this analysis, it seems that option D has an incorrect punctuation.
