    Identify the sentence with correct punctuation:
    Question

    Identify the sentence with correct punctuation:

    A.

    I need to buy bread, milk and eggs.

    B.

    I need to buy bread milk, and eggs.

    C.

    I need to buy bread milk and eggs.

    D.

    I need to buy bread, milk and, eggs.

    Correct option is A

    The correct option is (a).

    Option (a) has correct punctuation for a simple list of three items. It uses a comma to separate the first item from the remaining items, producing a clear series: bread, milk and eggs. This is an accepted and correct list punctuation style in exam grammar.

    Step-by-step reasoning:

    • The sentence contains a list of items to buy: bread, milk, eggs.
    • Items in a series should be separated by commas to avoid confusion.
    • Option (a) places the comma correctly after bread.

    Why other options are incorrect:

    • (b) Missing comma after bread and incorrect comma placement after milk creates an awkward break.
    • (c) No commas are used, making the list unclear and grammatically weak in formal punctuation.
    • (d) Incorrect comma placement after and breaks the structure of the list.

    Information booster: Many style guides also accept the Oxford comma (bread, milk, and eggs). However, in this question, option (a) is the only properly punctuated choice among the given options.

    So the correct answer is (a)
