Answer: The sentence that correctly shows where a comma is needed is A. "My mother and father practice the viola with the Cleveland Orchestra on Saturday, and I stay home to practice the violin".

Explanation: The sentence  "My mother and father practice the viola with the Cleveland Orchestra on Saturday and I stay home to practice the violin" is a compound sentence because it is made up of two independent clauses ("My mother and father practice the viola with the Cleveland Orchestra on Saturday" and "I stay home to practice the violin").<u> Punctuation rules state that, when a conjunction is joining two independent clauses, a comma must be added before this conjunction</u>. <u>As in the sentence provided there is a conjunction ("and")</u> connecting both clauses,<u> a comma is needed before "and"</u>. The only option that includes a comma before the conjunction "and" is A. My mother and father practice the viola with the Cleveland Orchestra on Saturday, and I stay home to practice the violin; therefore, <u>A. is the correct option</u>.
