Answer 3

D is correct.

Use commas when you pause while speaking.

Answer 4

Ok well you need to have the commas between the city that is in that state, but you don't need after it says Washington that is in A, which makes D the correct answer

Answer 6

Right.
So when you say out loud "Seattle, Washington," there is a pause between Seattle and Washington, therefore implying the use of a comma.

Yes, agreed and when you read the whole sentence out loud you aren't pausing between Washington and the word or

Correct. :)
