will fan and give medal Which sentence uses commas correctly? A. For breakfast they met at the Broken Yolk a restaurant, on Garnet Avenue. B. Maniac Magee was written by Jerry Spinelli, an American author. C. Natalia would like to go to Tahiti a country, in the South Pacific. D. Gunther has been watching the movies, of Alfred Hitchwingspan a movie director.

i think it is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. For D. to be correct it would have to be written like this: Gunther has been watching the movies of Alfred Hitchwingspan, a movie director.

ohhhh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it is |dw:1429798138988:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to go back in a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wrong again. :( The correct way to write that sentence would be like this: Natalia would like to go to Tahiti, a country in the South Pacific.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is the one that makes sense without the words after the comma. For example, these sentences both make sense without the words after the comma: Gunther has been watching the movies of Alfred Hitchwingspan. Natalia would like to go to Tahiti.

Do you understand? @cutecaligirl_<3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you read it, make a space when a comma comes by and see if it sounds right. The one that sounds right is the right answer.

So what you have left is A or B. Does A sound correct if you pause after the word restaurant?
