Question

should there be a comma before the highlighted word? okoye wants to go on vacation next summer, so she is saving her money. keep the comma remove the comma

Explanation:

In compound sentences using a coordinating conjunction (like "so") to join two independent clauses, a comma is placed before the conjunction. Here, "Okoye wants to go on vacation next summer" and "she is saving her money" are independent clauses joined by "so", so the comma before "so" is correct.

Answer:

Keep the Comma
