Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
A.Greg’s family adopted a young active puppy.
B.Lisa filmed two, dramatic movies this year.
C.Meg heard there is an unusual, exciting show tonight.
I think it is A or C...leaning towards A?
There should be a comma after young.
Then its C?...I think B and C are strange looking...but I would choose C as correct then?
I vote for C.
Thank you - C was rght... :)
You're welcome. :-)
c all the way
To determine which sentence is punctuated correctly, let's analyze each option:
A. Greg’s family adopted a young active puppy.
This sentence is properly punctuated. It includes an apostrophe ('s) to indicate possession for the name "Greg" and uses commas to separate the adjectives "young" and "active" modifying the noun "puppy."
B. Lisa filmed two, dramatic movies this year.
In this sentence, there is a comma placed after the word "two," which is unnecessary. Commas are not needed to separate "two" and "dramatic" as they are not independent clauses. Therefore, this sentence is not punctuated correctly.
C. Meg heard there is an unusual, exciting show tonight.
This sentence is also properly punctuated. It uses a comma to separate the adjectives "unusual" and "exciting" modifying the noun "show."
Based on this analysis, the correct sentence with proper punctuation is indeed option A:
A. Greg’s family adopted a young active puppy.
So your initial intuition that option A is correct is correct.
