PSAT Writing and Language Question 315: Answer and Explanation

Question: 315

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. other,
• C. other:
• D. other

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Commas are changing in the answer choices, so this question is testing the four ways to use a comma. The sentence contains a list of three things: 1) each other, 2) their home, and 3) their two children. There should be a comma after each item in the list. Eliminate (A) because it has a semicolon, not a comma, after other. Keep (B) because it has a comma after each item in the list. Eliminate (C) and (D) because neither uses a comma after the word other. The correct answer is (B).
