i think c or a idk
help is appreciated..
C is correct.
The statement punctuated correctly is Option C.
C. Selena started playing hockey, her favorite sport, when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.
In this option, the comma after "sport" sets off the parenthetical phrase "her favorite sport." This properly separates the additional information from the main sentence.
To determine which statement is punctuated correctly, let's analyze each option:
A. Selena, started playing hockey, her favorite sport when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.
The comma before "started playing hockey" and after "hockey" is incorrect. Commas are not necessary in this sentence structure.
B. Selena started playing hockey, her favorite sport when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.
This option is similar to Option A, and it still contains the incorrect comma placement.
C. Selena started playing hockey, her favorite sport, when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.
This option correctly places a comma after "sport" to separate it from the main clause. It also uses a comma to set off the introductory phrase "when she was seven."
D. Selena started playing hockey her favorite sport, when she was seven, because her older sister was a star goalie.
This option contains incorrect comma placement. There should be a comma after "hockey" and before "when she was seven" to separate the clauses properly.
Based on the analysis, the correct statement is C: Selena started playing hockey, her favorite sport, when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.
