Explanation:

First Question (about the basketball game sentence)

To determine correct comma usage, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Incorrectly places commas in "cheering, on the JWU, team" which disrupts the phrase structure.
• Option b: Unnecessary commas after "went" and "game" split the sentence incorrectly.
• Option c: The comma after "cheering" is incorrect as "cheering on the JWU team" is a single phrase.
• Option d: The original sentence has no comma errors as it is a simple compound predicate without need for commas.

For comma usage with "but" (a coordinating conjunction), we need a comma before it when joining two independent clauses.

• Option a: Comma after "it" is incorrect.
• Option b: Unnecessary commas around "Sabrina" and "times".
• Option c: Correctly places a comma before "but" to separate the two independent clauses ("Sabrina saw the movie three times" and "Jason only saw it once").
• Option d: The original sentence lacks the comma before "but" needed for two independent clauses.

Answer:

d. This sentence is correct as it is.
