Question

Which of the following statement about commas is false?

Two independent clauses can be joined with a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
A comma introduces a series or list of items.
A comma is used after a conjunctive adverb or a transitional expression.
Commas are used to separate items in a series or list.

Answer 1

A comma is used after a conjunctive adverb or a transitional expression.

Answer 2

The FALSE option is B.

A list of items is NOT introduced by a comma but by a colon.

For example, "tomorrow I will buy some things at the supermarket: milk, meat, shampoo, etc."

The comma is correctly used to join two independent clauses (together with coordinating conjunction), to separate items in a series of a list (as stated in the example), and a comma is placed after transitional expressions such as "however".
