Please read the following sentence:
"I think Robert Mary Jane Andrea Lee Ann and Milton should be on the planning committee."
Not knowing how the different names are actually connected (for example, Ann Marie could be the name of one person or the name of two different people), how many commas must you add to the sentence to show that there will be five people on the committee?
A. Two
B. Four
C. Three
D. Five
Answer (2)
This is how I would combine it:
"I think Robert, Mary, Jane, Andrea Lee, and Ann Milton should be on the planning committee."
I used FOUR commas, so THE CORRECT ANSWER IS B.
In the sentence, four commas need to be added to properly separate the names, resulting in the sentence: "I think Robert, Mary Jane, Andrea Lee, Ann, and Milton should be on the planning committee." The correct answer is B: Four.
