Thanks!
All are correct! :-)
Thanks so much!
Great job! All your answers are correct. Let me explain why each option is correct or incorrect:
1. The correct sentence is B) "Infection, for example, can be a complication of surgery." This sentence correctly uses a pair of commas to set off the phrase "for example" from the main clause. Commas are used to indicate a pause or to separate items in a series.
2. The correct sentence is A) "No, I do not agree with that diagnosis." This sentence uses a comma after the word "No" to separate it from the rest of the sentence and indicate a pause. Commas are often used to separate introductory words or phrases.
3. The correct sentence is B) "It was an exhausting, complicated surgery." This sentence correctly uses a comma to separate the adjectives "exhausting" and "complicated." Commas are used to separate items in a list or to indicate a pause in a sentence.
4. The correct sentence is C) "The package was delivered to your home in Everett, Washington, by UPS." This sentence correctly uses commas to set off the non-essential information "in Everett, Washington" from the main clause. Commas are used to separate additional information in a sentence that is not necessary for understanding the main idea.
