D.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Commas are used to insert a short pause in the speech. Also, note that you posted this in the Mathematics section rather than the English section.

@DawnStar53 please do not give out direct answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Grammar??? In the math section?? What kind of a website do you think this is? I'm kidding...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry lol

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Not quite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In B there would need to be another pause. Can you spot where that would need to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For dinner,

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

That's right. Take another guess. (:

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm STOP GUESSING and start reading

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Sentence "C" does not need a comma.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Read over what @nincompoop gave you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think C does need a comma, it just needs different placing. That sentence just reads funny too...

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

True.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d because it only needs the commas it has

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It's called \(\LaTeX\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. I've used LaTeX before. How did you do it with latex? Did you use a package?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

No, just the \rlap command.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Here's the code for what I did: `\(\huge\frak\rlap{\color{black}{\bigstar~Great~Work!~\bigstar}}{\color{lime}{\; \bigstar~Great~Work!~\bigstar}}\)`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\huge\frak\rlap{\color{black}{\bigstar~Great~Work!~\bigstar}}{\color{lime}{\; \bigstar~Great~Work!~\bigstar}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge\bullet \huge\frak Test\bullet\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's pretty cool. Is there any other font than \frak @Whitemonsterbunny17

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

There's lots! I can show you in the LaTeX Practicing section. (:

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

only D requires a comma Although there are varying styles and there is no full agreement about all of its usage, comma is used for parenthetic expressions (also known as dependent clause), an independent marker, and (depending the style) in a coordinate conjunction.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):
