Question

which sentence is written correctly?
○ summer produce, such as heirloom tomatoes, can be used to create delicious salads.
○ the hotel in the business district, has many accommodations, for its corporate visitors.
○ the discovery of gold led to population growth, in the west, during the late 1800s.
○ restaurants must adhere to, health department guidelines, in order to obtain a permit.

Explanation:

• The first sentence uses commas correctly to set off the non-restrictive appositive phrase "such as heirloom tomatoes" without disrupting the main clause flow.
• The second sentence incorrectly places a comma after "district" (unnecessary break in the main clause) and after "accommodations" (incorrect comma before the preposition "for").
• The third sentence incorrectly places commas around "in the West," which is an essential prepositional phrase that should not be separated from the main clause.
• The fourth sentence incorrectly places a comma after "to" (splits the phrasal verb "adhere to" unnecessarily) and around "health department guidelines," which is essential to the sentence's meaning.

Answer:

Summer produce, such as heirloom tomatoes, can be used to create delicious salads.
