Many wild mushrooms frequently located under trees, can be used in medicines. D. A gray squirrel, chased by a dog climbed hastily up the nearest tree.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

possible c

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Commas go where you would need to pause, and I don't think C is right.

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

yea true let me think real quick

OpenStudy (inowalst):

A and B are out because they have no commas.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

So what now..

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

D

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

hey its rainbow dash

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey :)

OpenStudy (inowalst):

C sounds right, but I'm not sure if the comma should go there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A gray squirrel, chased by a dog, climbed hastily up the nearest tree. I think we need a comma after dog. So it's not D

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Right.^

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

that's what I was thinking

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

so I said c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's wrong with A?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

A doesn't have a comma.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doesn't C need a comma after 'mushrooms'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To me C. sounds wrong

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

21 minutes later

OpenStudy (inowalst):

C sounds wrong, but its asking for comma usage and A and B don't have commas.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think C is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the comma doesn't fit there

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

ok ok c and d are wrong but it say comma usage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it might be A or B

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

well a and b don't have a comma in it and again comma usage I was thinking Ii could be a are b but it say comma usage so?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Wouldn't A be right if it were, "There is your brother, waiting.." ?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Adding the comma.

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

true

OpenStudy (inowalst):

B doesn't need a comma. There aren't any pauses.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did this last year

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it was between A and B

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Like I said, A would need a comma where you'd pause.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I might go with B

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

ok b it is lets see

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

yep it was b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) Perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay
