Question

Where should commas be added in the following sentence?

“Three Skeleton Key” got its name as the narrator tells us from three escaped convicts.
A. after got and us
B. after name and us
C. after as
D. after three

Answer 1

B.) After name and us.
Because the two commas form an appositive. An appositive is kinda like an after-thought, and the sentence can make sense without it.

Answer 2

“Three Skeleton Key” got its name as the narrator tells us from three escaped convicts: shiukf have commas after name and us. Option B.

The correct form would be “Three Skeleton Key” got its name, as the narrator tells us, from three escaped convicts: shiukf have commas after name and us.

Commas should be placed there because the speaker is adding a comment that should be separeted of the rest of the sentence-

As can be used as a conjunction or as an adverb. when it is used as an adverb, you don’t use a comma.
