The correct sentence that uses a comma correctly is:
Oscar wants to go to the pool, so that is where we will go.
To determine the correct answer, we need to look for a sentence where the comma is used to separate two independent clauses (complete thoughts) joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as "but" or "so"). In this sentence, "Oscar wants to go to the pool" and "that is where we will go" are two complete thoughts joined by the coordinating conjunction "so". The comma is used correctly to separate these two thoughts.
Let's analyze the other options to see why they are incorrect:
1. Ben likes toast but, I like rolls with my meals.
This sentence incorrectly places a comma after "but". The comma should not be used in this case because "Ben likes toast" and "I like rolls with my meals" are not independent clauses.
2. After dinner we went to the, store to shop for shoes.
This sentence incorrectly places a comma after "the". The comma should not be used in this case because it separates the noun "the store" from its descriptor "to shop for shoes".
3. On Sunday I want to go to the museum, all day.
This sentence incorrectly places a comma after "museum". The comma here interrupts the flow of the sentence and is not necessary.
