1. Which sentence below is correctly punctuated?

A My sister, the tall one, is about to enter high school.
B My sister the tall one, is about to enter high school.
C My sister the tall one is about to enter high school.
D My sister, the tall one is about to enter high school.

✔ Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
The phrase *"the tall one"* is an appositive — it adds extra information about "my sister." Appositives should be set off by commas on both sides when they are non-essential (i.e., not necessary to identify the person). So we need commas before and after "the tall one."

- A is correct: *My sister, the tall one, is about to enter high school.*
- B lacks a comma before "the tall one" → incorrect.
- C has no commas at all → incorrect.
- D lacks a comma after "one" → incorrect.

2. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

A We decided to eat at Olive Garden my favorite restaurant.
B We decided to eat at, Olive Garden, my favorite restaurant.
C We decided to eat at Olive Garden, my favorite restaurant.
D We decided, to eat, at Olive Garden my favorite restaurant.

✔ Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
The phrase *"my favorite restaurant"* is a non-restrictive appositive describing "Olive Garden." It should be set off with a comma after "Olive Garden."

- A: No comma → runs-on or unclear; incorrect.
- B: Extra comma after "eat at" is wrong; "at, Olive Garden" is awkward and incorrect.
- C: Correct punctuation — comma after "Olive Garden" separates the descriptive phrase.
- D: Unnecessary commas around "to eat" and missing comma before "my favorite restaurant" → incorrect.

So, C is correct.

3. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

A Layla my sister, is having a party for Cinco de Mayo.
B Layla, my sister is having a party for Cinco de Mayo.
C Layla my sister is having a party for Cinco de Mayo.
D Layla, my sister, is having a party for Cinco de Mayo.

✔ Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
"Layla" is the subject, and "my sister" is an appositive that describes her. Since this is non-essential information (we already know who Layla is), it should be enclosed in commas on both sides.

- A: Missing comma after "Layla" → incorrect.
- B: Missing comma after "sister" → incorrect.
- C: No commas at all → incorrect.
- D: Both commas present → correct.

✔ Answer: D

4. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

A Petey, my pet snake has only bitten one person.
B Petey my pet snake, has only bitten one person.
C Petey, my pet snake, has only bitten one person.
D Petey my pet snake has only bitten one person.

✔ Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
"Petey" is the name being addressed (direct address), so it should be followed by a comma. Then, "my pet snake" is an appositive describing Petey — again, non-essential, so it needs commas on both sides.

- A: Only one comma after "Petey", but missing one after "snake" → incorrect.
- B: Missing comma after "Petey" → incorrect.
- C: Correct — both commas used properly.
- D: No commas at all → incorrect.

✔ Answer: C

5. We can hear the clicking of the cow’s _________.

A hooves
B hoofes
C hoofs

✔ Correct Answer: A – hooves

Explanation:
The word *hoof* has two acceptable plural forms: hoofs and hooves, but "hooves" is the more common and standard plural form in modern English, especially in formal writing.

- Hooves = most widely accepted plural.
- Hoofs = less common, sometimes used in dialects or poetry.
- Hoofes = incorrect spelling (not a real plural form).

So, even though both "hooves" and "hoofs" are grammatically acceptable, "hooves" is the best choice here.

✔ Answer: A

✔ Final Answers:

1. A
2. C
3. D
4. C
5. A
