choose the correct placement for the comma in this sentence:
a calm easy wind rocked the boat gently.
choose 1 answer:
a a calm easy wind rocked, the boat gently.
b a calm, easy wind rocked the boat gently.
c a calm easy, wind rocked the boat gently.

Explanation:

When two coordinate adjectives (describing the same noun, here "wind") are used before a noun, they need a comma between them. "Calm" and "easy" are coordinate adjectives that both modify "wind," so a comma should separate them. The comma does not go after the noun phrase or between the noun and verb.

Answer:

B. A calm, easy wind rocked the boat gently.
