Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the first part, a compound sentence with a coordinating conjunction 'and' and a contrasting 'but' should have a comma before 'and' and 'but' to separate independent clauses properly. In the second part, an introductory adverbial clause "While she walked to school" should be set off by a comma at the start of the sentence.

Answer:

  • "Tony cooked dinner, and I made the salad, but Mike just ate."
  • "While she walked to school, the dog kept barking at Megumi."
