To determine the correct punctuation for Line 3 of the paragraph, we need to understand the purpose of commas and semicolons.
Commas are used to separate items in a list, while semicolons are used to separate independent clauses or items in a list when the items themselves contain commas.
In Line 3 of the paragraph, we have a list of sandwiches that will be offered as samples. Each sandwich is described with additional details. To separate the items in the list, we use commas. However, since each item in the list already contains commas (e.g., "a wrap with roasted vegetables and hummus"), we need to use semicolons to separate the items in the list.
Therefore, the correct punctuation for Line 3 is:
The samples will include mouth-watering bites of the Veggie Deluxe, a wrap with roasted vegetables and hummus; the Italian Combo, a selection of Italian meats and cheeses on a roll; and the famous B.L.T., made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato on toasted rye bread.
