Question

choose the correct placement for the commas in this sentence. every day he eats a banana a fruit he doesnt like very much because he knows its good for him. choose 1 answer: a every day he eats a banana, a fruit he doesnt like very much because, he knows its good for him. b every day he eats a banana, a fruit he doesnt like very much, because he knows its good for him. c every day, he eats a banana, a fruit he doesnt like very much because he knows its good for him.

Explanation:

To determine the correct comma placement, we analyze the sentence structure. The phrase "a fruit he doesn't like very much" is an appositive (provides more info about "banana") and should be set off with commas. Also, "because he knows it's good for him" is a dependent clause explaining the reason, and the comma before "because" should separate the appositive from the main clause's reason. Option A incorrectly places a comma in "because," Option C incorrectly places a comma after "Every day" (unnecessary here), while Option B correctly sets off the appositive with commas and places the comma before "because" to separate the appositive from the reason clause.

Answer:

B. Every day he eats a banana, a fruit he doesn't like very much, because he knows it's good for him.
