Question

Identify the incorrectly punctuated sentence.

A. At the party for his parents, Steve made a lovely speech.

B. After his speech, I congratulated him on a job well done.

C. We all had tears in our eyes, as he spoke.

D. Steve smiled and asked of I wanted a piece of cake.

Answer 1

D because instead of putting if, it out of.

Answer 2

C.) We all had tears in our eyes, as he spoke.

Step-by-step explanation:

A comma joins two independent clauses. The clause 'We all had tears in our eyes' is indeed independent, while the fragment 'as he spoke' is not -- meaning it cannot be it's own sentence/phrase.

This sentence in particular does not need a comma to join the independent and dependent clauses, nor does require a pause in between words.
