Which sentence does not contain any errors in comma usage? A. How often, should she take this medicine Doctor? B. Come on, Scott, unlock this door! C. Run Isaac, run! D. Alec where are your soccer cleats?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

There must always be a comma before a name. If the sentence continues after the name, then there must be a comma after the name as well, so not C.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Kyan is correct. It is not C.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

The correct answer would be B. If it helps, read the sentence and imagine the places in which you would make a pause.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the others dont make sense!

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

Kyan explained it very well

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well that's not exactly the best reason to eliminate an answer. @royalkiwi Indeed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

... yeah it is.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

...No. You'd need information to support why the answer is wrong. In this case, you have none. *sigh* I remember the days when I was your smart score, and I was being corrected my people like me now. :D

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

"Run Isaac, run!" Seems like a run-on sentence fragment to me.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

*by

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is B?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Indeed

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

That is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain please? :) sorry but it's confusing.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

"Run Isaac, run!" It would be correct had it said "Run, Isaac, run!" as it was missing a comma. Here, this may help: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well as I previously said, there must be a comma before and after a name. When you're telling someone to go get some toothpaste. You don't want them to get the toothpaste in a Sarah-like fashion! That's just too silly. You are of course telling Sarah to get you some toothpaste, which would require a comma.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you guys so much! :) you're the best!!

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

No problem (although my bff Kyan explained much more) XD

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

*gasp* I'm your bff?! That's so flattering to hear! XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the answer?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

We chat all the time, I consider you my friend through-and-through :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was B. We said it like 50 times XD

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @royalkiwi The correct answer would be B. If it helps, read the sentence and imagine the places in which you would make a pause. \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
