Question

Can someone check to see if I'm correct please? C:
(Choose the sentence that contains an error in the use of the commas)
A) *a tiny diamond sparkled on her finger.* < the one I picked
B) Haley's speech was interesting, and a pleasantly surprising hit.
C) One scraggly, leafless plant say in the window.
D) His long read beard fascinated the little boy.
(Thank you)

Answer 1

This one is actually a bit confusing. Why did you choose A? I feel like A might be incorrect because I don't think a comma was needed. But I may be wrong.

Answer 2

I am actually thinking either B or D. B doesn't seem to wrong because there is an independent clause before the comma. And D doesn't seem to be wrong either...that is if "read" doesn't actually mean "red."

Answer 3

For C and D I mean misspelling errors sorry it's "sat" not "say" and "red" not "read."

Answer 4

D is incorrect. It should be "His long, red beard fascinated the little boy."
