When using coordinate adjectives, a comma should be placed between the adjectives.
To determine which option must be placed between coordinate adjectives, you can use a quick check. Coordinate adjectives are two or more adjectives that modify the same noun independently, so they can be rearranged or separated by the words "and" or "but" without changing the meaning of the sentence.
The quick check involves two steps:
1. Place the word "and" between the adjectives.
2. Check if the sentence still makes sense.
For example, let's take the phrase "a big, blue car." If we apply the quick check, it would become "a big and blue car." The sentence still makes sense, so using a comma between coordinate adjectives is the correct option.
Therefore, the correct option to be placed between coordinate adjectives is commas.
