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:

Analyze the first sentence

Using the Comma Rules and Punctuation knowledge points, we evaluate:
"Summer produce, such as heirloom tomatoes, can be used to create delicious salads."
The phrase "such as heirloom tomatoes" is a nonessential element.
It is correctly set off with commas on both sides.
The main clause remains grammatically complete and correct.

Analyze the second sentence

Using the Comma Rules knowledge point, we evaluate:
"The hotel in the business district, has many accommodations, for its corporate visitors."
The comma after "district" incorrectly separates the subject from its verb.
The comma after "accommodations" incorrectly separates the noun from its prepositional modifier.
These commas are unnecessary and grammatically incorrect.

Analyze the third sentence

Using the Comma Rules knowledge point, we evaluate:
"The discovery of gold led to population growth, in the West, during the late 1800s."
The commas around "in the West" are incorrect.
Prepositional phrases at the end of a sentence should not be separated by commas.
This disrupts the natural flow of the sentence.

Analyze the fourth sentence

Using the Comma Rules knowledge point, we evaluate:
"Restaurants must adhere to, health department guidelines, in order to obtain a permit."
The comma after "to" incorrectly separates the preposition from its object.
The comma after "guidelines" is also unnecessary before the infinitive phrase.
These punctuation marks are incorrect.

• (A) Summer produce, such as heirloom tomatoes, can be used to create delicious salads. (Correct answer)
