Question
\i cant believe that you put your sneakers in the oven,\ complained teresa, toms wife. completely frustrated, she added \it will take me all afternoon to scrape this melted rubber off the rack.\○ remove the comma between teresa and toms.○ no change is necessary.○ add a comma between added and it.○ remove the comma between oven and complained.
Brief Explanations
The original text uses correct punctuation:
- The comma after "oven" properly separates the quoted dialogue from the speaker tag "complained Teresa".
- The comma after "Teresa" correctly sets off the appositive "Tom's wife" that identifies Teresa.
- No comma is needed between "added" and "It" because "It will take..." is a dependent clause continuing the action of "added", not an independent clause requiring a comma.
All proposed changes would introduce punctuation errors, so no adjustment is needed.
