The correct sentence is "Andrea, I was wondering where the cookies were." This sentence correctly uses punctuation to separate the name "Andrea" from the rest of the sentence and to indicate a pause. It also places the question word "where" before the subject "the cookies" and uses the correct verb placement "were" at the end of the sentence.Rate this question:

Where does the comma go?Jack Bauer can I borrow your red lamberginie with butterfly doors?
- A.
After "Jack"
- B.
After "borrow"
- C.
After "Bauer"
- D.
After "your"
- E.
After "red lamberginie"
Correct Answer
C. After "Bauer"Explanation
In this sentence, the comma should be placed after "Bauer". This is because the sentence is addressing Jack Bauer directly, and the comma is used to separate the name from the rest of the sentence. The phrase "can I borrow your red lamberginie with butterfly doors?" is a separate statement/question and should not be connected directly to "Bauer" without the comma.Rate this question:

Which is best fit in the blank?I need your help, ______.
- A.
a noun
- B.
A name
- C.
A verb
- D.
A pronoun
- E.
An adjective
Correct Answer
B. A nameExplanation
In the given sentence, "I need your help, ______," the best fit in the blank would be "a name." This is because when someone asks for help, they usually need assistance from a specific person or individual, which is referred to by their name. Using a noun or a pronoun would be too general, and using an adjective, verb, or any other option would not convey the specific requirement of needing someone's help by their name.Rate this question:

Where does the comma belong?Ms. Bacon when are you leaving for Canada?
- A.
After "leaving"
- B.
After "for"
- C.
After "are"
- D.
After "Ms."
- E.
After "Bacon"
Correct Answer
E. After "Bacon"Explanation
In the given sentence, the comma belongs after "Bacon". This is because the sentence is addressing someone directly, and when a person's name or title is used in direct address, it is separated from the rest of the sentence by commas. Therefore, the correct placement of the comma is after "Bacon" to indicate that the speaker is directly addressing Ms. Bacon before asking about her departure to Canada.Rate this question:

Where does the comma belong?Bob the builder can you turn down the stereo.
- A.
After "bob"
- B.
After "the"
- C.
After "down"
- D.
After "builder"
- E.
After "turn"
Correct Answer
D. After "builder"Explanation
The comma belongs after "builder" in the sentence "Bob the builder, can you turn down the stereo." This is because the phrase "Bob the builder" is an appositive, providing additional information about the subject. Appositives are typically set off by commas to separate them from the rest of the sentence.Rate this question:

- A.
Mr. K
- B.
Beanpot
- C.
Hair
- D.
Toilet
- E.
Paper
Correct Answer
A. Mr. KExplanation
The correct answer is "Mr. K" because the blank is asking for a word that would make sense in the context of someone refusing a Geico sign from math. "Mr. K" is the most logical choice as it is a person's name and would fit in the sentence as the person who refused the sign.Rate this question:
