Answer:
It was a rainy day but, Joan and I had planned a trip. Joan wanted to go to the beach for a swim. I wasn't sure if we should go.
"I think we should wait a little longer, at least until the rain shows some signs of slowing down," I suggested.
"We can't swim without getting wet anyway," replied Joan, questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought at a secondhand store.
Explanation:
The best option to complete the parts where punctuation is missing is a comma.
1. It was a rainy day, but Joan and I had... --> commas are placed before the conjunction joining two independent clauses, as is the case here.
2. "I think we should wait a little longer, at least until... --> this type of usage is commonly justified as avoiding confusion. The way we read the sentence without the comma changes, and can cause confusion.
3. questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought... --> commas are used before phrases or clauses that somehow offer an explanation or further information about something previously mentioned. In this case, the speaker is offering further information about the swimsuit.
Note: For case 3, I believe a dash is also an option, since it can come before an explanation or further information as well. Still, a comma is usually preferred.

For example: genocide has the purpose to annihilate (get rid of) human beings who are different, belong to a certain religion or sect. It came from the Late Latin word: "annihilatus" meaning "reduced to nothing", While obliterate means to in Latin to: "struck out", meaning "Trying something with multiple attempt but fail".

Even so, people who are not religious can also have these morals and look bad upon children who are a "bas-ta-rd", a child that was produced out of wed-lock. While decadent is someone who shows a decline in morals, the person is aware of the morals but they themselves "choose" to decline the moral and cultural norms and rules. For example: The U.S prohibits marriage of two or more people. Those who do it disobey the law.
5. Rending is to tear something into two or more pieces. Rending is not done in force, you can tear a piece of paper calmly. To tear is to rip something with force, for example: "He tore with his teeth the flesh upon her skin into two pieces".
