question 2

you probably noticed that mccarthy often breaks comma rules, leaving many of them out. according to the rules youve reviewed, where is a missing comma in the line, \but there is another view of the world out there and other eyes to see it and thats where this is goin.\

after the word it
after the word but
after the word view
after the word and
after the word world
after the word there

Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure

Using the Clause Relationships knowledge point
The sentence is: "But there is another view of the world out there and other eyes to see it and that's where this is goin."
Let's break down the independent clauses:

1. "there is another view of the world out there"
2. "other eyes [are there] to see it" (or coordinated noun phrase)
3. "that's where this is goin"

The final clause "that's where this is goin" is an independent clause joined to the preceding clauses by the coordinating conjunction "and".

Apply standard comma rules

Using the Comma Usage knowledge point
According to standard grammar rules, a comma should be placed before a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) that joins two independent clauses.

The coordinating conjunction "and" before "that's where this is goin" connects the preceding independent clauses with the final independent clause "that's where this is goin." Therefore, a comma is missing right before this "and", which means it should be placed after the word "it".

Evaluate the given options

Let's check the options:

• "After the word it": This places a comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" that connects the final independent clause. This is correct.
• "After the word but": No comma is needed after an introductory coordinating conjunction like "But" at the start of a sentence.
• "After the word view": "view of the world" is a continuous prepositional phrase; a comma here would incorrectly split the phrase.
• "After the word and": Placing a comma after "and" is incorrect unless it starts a parenthetical element.
• "After the word world": "world out there" is a continuous prepositional phrase; a comma here would disrupt the flow.
• "After the word there": The first "and" connects "another view of the world out there" and "other eyes to see it". Since these are closely related and the second part is not a fully independent clause with its own explicit subject and verb, a comma after "there" is less critical than the one separating the final independent clause.

Answer:

• After the word it (Correct answer)
• After the word but
• After the word view
• After the word and
• After the word world
• After the word there
