Which sentence is punctuated correctly? Coach Hamilton did not hold practice Saturday morning because we won our game Friday night. I like starting my day with a morning run, because it clears my mind and wakes me up. Many schools are banning snack food machines because, the foods they sell are so bad for students. NextReset

Say the options out loud. @WesternBurger

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

If it doesn't sound proper then it would be wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking either A or B.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Do you think there should be a comma before "because" in option B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes and no? I think it'd make sense if there was one before it and also if there was one after it.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

No.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

There should be no comma.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Say it out loud and pause when you reach the comma. It won't sound proper.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So comma's with the word because are only allowed if they are after the word because?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I don't think their allowed before and after.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. So in that case the correct answer would be A.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You're welcome. :)
