Answer: I must say that the weather was nice, that the food was delicious, and that the band played well.

Explanation: The correctly punctuated sentence is the second one, because the first one has an "and" after every comma, which is incorrect when we enumerate a list of things, in this case the weather, the food, and the band. The third one is missing the comma before the "and" but the second one has all the commas in the right place completing the enumeration correctly.

The sentence that is correctly punctuated is “I must say that the weather was nice, that the food was delicious, and that the band played well”

The second sentence is punctuated correctly because the use of the comma is applied correctly.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Option 1: I must say that the weather was nice, and that the food was delicious, and that the band played well.

The first sentence is not correct because it has “and” after every comma, although the use of comma is meant to apply pause in the sentence, using it after “and” will not properly capture the purpose of the statement which is to list out some things (the weather, the food, and the band)

Option 3: I must say that the weather was nice, that the food was delicious and that the band played well.

The third is also not correct because there should be a comma before “and”, that is, <em>that the food was delicious, and that the band played well</em>.

Therefore, the third option (I must say that the weather was nice, that the food was delicious, and that the band played well) is very correct because the use of a comma is applied correctly.
