Question

Select the correctly punctuated sentence. A. Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia for over twenty years. B. Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia, for over twenty years. C. Jessica has lived in Atlanta Georgia for over twenty years.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be (A)

Answer 2

B- Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia, for over twenty years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atlanta, being the capital of the state of Georgia, is written separated with a comma from Georgia to show that both locations are not the same.

The second comma after Georgia, puts a pause before the continuation of the statement for easier comprehension.

"Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia." could be a complete statement.

However,

"Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia, for over twenty years." gives more detail to the statement.
