Which sentence best shows correct comma usage?

English
2 answers:
GaryK [48]3 years ago

Answer:

The sentence that best shows correct comma usage is, indeed, letter B) What would you like, Ken, for breakfast?

Explanation:

As we can see, the sentences in letter A - D are actually the same sentence with different punctuation. This sentence comes with a name right in its center: Ken. However, the speaker is not talking about Ken. The speaker is talking to Ken, addressing him, asking Ken a question. In that case, we have what is called a vocative - a word or phrase employed to address someone directly.

A vocative must always be set off by commas. If, for example, it had come at the beginning of the sentence, "Ken" would be followed by just one comma. But, since it came in the middle of the sentence, it needs a comma right before it, and another one right after it. Thus, the best option is letter B:

What would you like, Ken, for breakfast?

Another example with a vocative in the middle of the sentence would be:

- What do you think, doctor, of these results?

The sentence which  best shows correct comma usage is " What would you like, Ken, for breakfast?" Option B is correct.

When we use vocatives in sentences, that is, names that are being addressed direcly, they must be separated with a comma or commas from the rest of the sentence.

In this particular case, the word Ken is between commas to be separated from the rest of the sentence. However, since vocatives tend to be at the beginning or end of a sentence, it should be semarated only by one comma.

based on the excerpt you read from the Canterbury tales what do you think was chances view of the church what characters are use
vodka [1.7K]

The correct response is - The Canterbury Tales: Chaucer's View of the Church By examining "The Canterbury Tales," one can deduce that Chaucer acknowledged the church's virtues but did not necessarily hold them in high regard. Some clergy members are perceived as pious and God-fearing, while others are despised as con men and charlatans.

<h3>What are "Canterbury tales"?</h3>

Geoffrey Chaucer composed The Canterbury Tales, a collection of twenty-four tales totaling more than 17,000 lines, between 1387 and 1400. It is frequently referred to as Chaucer's greatest work.

A group of pilgrims making their way to Canterbury Cathedral compete in a storytelling competition in The Canterbury Tales. The pilgrims have a reason to tell their stories, which reflect the anxieties sparked by the social upheavals of late medieval England, because of this overarching plot, or frame.

Traditionally, The Canterbury Tales was published in 1387. (although some tales appear to have been written before then). 92 manuscripts of the poem still exist, though none of them are from Chaucer's lifetime. The poem as we know it was created by scribes in the fifteenth century.
