To identify this, we can look at the comma placement. The correct punctuation would be: "I went to the library books, movie, an audio recording." This separates the items in the list with commas.
28. The incorrectly punctuated sentence is:
C. I busy industrious day at work today.
To identify this, we can see that there is no comma separating the adjectives "busy" and "industrious." The correct punctuation would be: "I had a busy, industrious day at work today." This separates the adjectives with a comma.
