Read the paragraph.
Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal, black cat, Max.
How should this paragraph be revised so that it is correct?
The word “soccer” should be capitalized.
The comma after “however” should be removed.
The word “cat” should be capitalized.
The comma after “loyal” should be removed.
Answer:
The comma after “loyal” should be removed.
Explanation:
The removal of the comma after the word "loyal" is necessary because the words "loyal" and *black" are adjectives describing the cat and shouldn't be separated by a comma.
A comma serves different functions in grammar which includes introducing a pause in a sentence and there is no need for the pause because the adjectives are about a common thing and not a separate idea.
Nick describes himself as someone who was very tolerant, and withheld judgement from most people. "<span>In consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores" (Fitzgerald Chapter 1). He says he graduated from New Haven, and fought in the first World War, which left him feeling restless. He says that he decided to study and attempt to make it in the industry of bonds. He moves to West Egg, where the new money is, or the young men seeking to make their fortunes through hard work, in contrast to East Egg, where the old money is, or family-inherited money. So, in short, Nick is a restless man looking to make his fortune through hard work, and completely reserves judgement of most of the people around him. </span>
