noredink lq 17 commas for clarity question 1 of 20 add or remove commas, if necessary, until the sentence has correct punctuation. once, hooty made six balloon animals in under four minutes.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the sentence structure

The sentence "Once, Hooty made six balloon animals in under four minutes." has a comma after "Once". Let's check if it's necessary. "Once" here is an adverb of time at the beginning of the sentence. In standard English punctuation, when an adverb like "once" starts a sentence and is followed by the main clause, a comma after it is correct as it helps to separate the introductory element from the main clause for clarity. So we don't need to remove or add any other commas.

Answer:

The sentence "Once, Hooty made six balloon animals in under four minutes." is already correctly punctuated with the comma after "Once" (no changes needed).
