Question

question 2 points 1
in which of the following options is the comma used correctly?
the moon the stars and the sun, are celestial bodies.
the moon, the stars, and, the sun are celestial bodies.
the moon the stars, and the sun are celestial bodies.
the moon, the stars, and the sun are celestial bodies.

Explanation:

This question tests correct comma usage in a series. The Oxford comma (comma before "and" in a list of three+ items) is standard here. Correct formatting requires commas separating each item in the series, with an optional but widely accepted Oxford comma before the final conjunction. The first option misplaces the comma after the final item. The second option adds an unnecessary comma after "and". The third option omits the comma after the first item. The fourth option properly separates each item with commas, including the Oxford comma before "and".

Answer:

The moon, the stars, and the sun are celestial bodies.
