Question

Which sentence is missing a comma between coordinate adjectives?

A

B
The best spot in the spacious log cabin was near the fireplace in the cozy living room.
C
My sister spread creamy peanut butter on the fresh crisp celery.
D
The new ice–skating rink is located on a side street near the old high school.

Answer 1

The sentence that is missing a comma between coordinate adjectives is C: "My sister spread creamy peanut butter on the fresh crisp celery." The adjectives "fresh" and "crisp" both modify the noun "celery" and should be separated by a comma. The sentence should read: "My sister spread creamy peanut butter on the fresh, crisp celery."
