Explanation:
1. After, the lights were turned down, the movie began.
The comma should be placed after "After" to separate the introductory adverbial phrase from the main clause.
2. My sister, a trained bus driver, volunteered to drive us to the store.
The commas are correctly placed to set off the nonessential appositive phrase "a trained bus driver."
3. I chose to adopt a Labrador puppy, my favorite type, from the shelter.
The comma should be placed after "Labrador puppy" to separate the main clause from the appositive phrase "my favorite type."
4. During the dig, the construction workers made sure to wear their safety gear.
The comma is correctly placed to separate the introductory adverbial phrase from the main clause.
5. Because, we forgot our gloves we couldn't build the snow fort outside.
The comma after "Because" should be removed because there is no need to separate the subordinating conjunction "Because" from the main clause. Additionally, a comma should be placed after "gloves" to separate the two independent clauses in the compound sentence.
