the following sentence to answer the question.
We came home from the concert which was in the next town and went directly to bed.
Where should two commas be placed in the sentence?
(1 point)
• after came and town
• after concert and directly
• after home and went
• after concert and town
After came and town
In the sentence "We came home from the concert which was in the next town and went directly to bed," two commas should be placed after "concert" and before "which" and after "town.".
To determine where the commas should be placed in the sentence, we need to consider the three commas used in the sentence and their function.
The first comma is used to set off a nonessential, or non-restrictive, clause providing additional information. In this case, the clause "which was in the next town" is providing additional information about the concert. Since this clause can be removed without changing the main meaning of the sentence, a comma should be placed after the word "concert".
The second comma is used to separate two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, which in this case is "and". The two independent clauses are "We came home from the concert" and "we went directly to bed". Since there is a coordinating conjunction joining these two clauses, a comma should be placed before the coordinating conjunction "and".
Therefore, the two commas should be placed:
• after "concert"
• after "home" and before "went"
So, the correct placement of the two commas in the sentence would be: "We came home from the concert, which was in the next town, and went directly to bed."
