Answer 1

Answer:

On Monday, August 31, Harriet will turn 16 and get her driver’s license.

A comma is needed to separate the day of the week from the month. This is why a comma is needed between Monday and August. The introductory phrase in this sentence is "On Monday, August 31." All introductory phrases should be followed with a comma, which explains why a comma is used after 31.
