Question

which shows the correct usage of a comma in a sentence?
darla bit into the hot, gooey, bread.
darla bit into the hot, gooey bread.

Explanation:

To determine the correct comma usage, we analyze the sentences. In a series of adjectives describing a noun, commas are used between coordinate adjectives (adjectives that can be reordered or have "and" between them). Here, "hot" and "gooey" are coordinate adjectives describing "bread". The first sentence has an extra comma after "gooey" (before "bread"), which is incorrect. The second sentence ("Darla bit into the hot, gooey bread.") uses commas correctly between the two adjectives without an unnecessary comma before the noun.

Answer:

Darla bit into the hot, gooey bread.
