Question

select the three sentences that use commas correctly.
□ it’s the bulldogs, with their sweet and cuddly faces, that make me happy.
□ afterward, we will go swimming at the local pool.
□ if we take the bus home, which always comes on time we will get home before dark.
□ after we get home from school, my parents will take us to the movies.
□ because, i am a fan of both teams i won’t be rooting for anyone.

Explanation:

1. The first sentence uses commas correctly to set off the non-restrictive appositive phrase "with their sweet and cuddly faces" that adds extra, non-essential detail about the bulldogs.
2. The second sentence correctly uses a comma after the introductory adverb "Afterward".
3. The fourth sentence correctly uses a comma to separate the introductory dependent clause "After we get home from school" from the independent main clause.
4. The third sentence is incorrect: it is missing a comma after the non-restrictive clause "which always comes on time".
5. The fifth sentence is incorrect: it incorrectly places a comma right after the subordinating conjunction "Because".

Answer:

• It's the bulldogs, with their sweet and cuddly faces, that make me happy.
• Afterward, we will go swimming at the local pool.
• After we get home from school, my parents will take us to the movies.
