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", which adds extra non-essential information.
• The second sentence incorrectly places a comma after "district" (unnecessary break) and another before "for" (incorrectly separates the prepositional phrase from the main clause).
• The third sentence incorrectly sets off the prepositional phrase "in the West" with commas, which disrupts the flow of the main clause.
• The fourth sentence incorrectly places commas after "to" and before "in", creating unnecessary breaks in the sentence structure.

Answer:

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