Answer 1

The correct answer is A

Answer 2

The sentence that shows correct comma usage is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence A is a clear example of the use of a comma before the coordinatinating conjunction and. When two independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction, a comma is required before the conjunction. Otherwise, the sentence becomes a run-on sentence.

An independent clause is clause that represents a complete thought, and can therefore stand alone as a sentence (1 & 2).

1) He graduated from college,

2) And he got his diploma
