PSAT Writing and Language Question 323: Answer and Explanation

Question: 323

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. homes, offices and,
• C. homes offices and
• D. homes offices, and

Correct Answer: A

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) homes, 2) offices, and 3) outdoor spaces. There should be a comma after each item in the list. Keep (A) because it has a comma after each item in the list. Eliminate (B) because there should not be a comma after the word and. Eliminate (C) and (D) because neither has a comma after every item in the list. The correct answer is (A).
