To match the sentence with the type of comma rule it represents, we need to analyze each sentence and determine which comma rule is being used.
1. "I am afraid of heights, yet I enjoy riding rollercoasters."
This sentence represents a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses ("I am afraid of heights" and "I enjoy riding rollercoasters") that are joined by the coordinating conjunction "yet." The comma before the coordinating conjunction "yet" indicates a separation between the two independent clauses.
2. "My favorite rollercoaster is Ghost Rider, a wooden roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm."
This sentence represents an appositive because the phrase "a wooden roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm" provides additional information about the noun phrase "Ghost Rider." The comma before the appositive is used to set it off from the rest of the sentence.
3. "I have ridden all the rollercoasters at Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags, and Disneyland."
This sentence represents items in a series because it lists multiple rollercoaster locations separated by commas. The comma between "Knott's Berry Farm" and "Six Flags" as well as the comma between "Six Flags" and "Disneyland" indicate separate items in the series.
4. "When I wait in line to get on a rollercoaster, my heart beats fast."
This sentence does not represent any specific comma rule. It is a simple sentence that does not require any commas for the given context.
Now, you can match the sentences with their corresponding comma rules by dragging the answers to the appropriate spots.
