Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure

Using the Comma Usage knowledge point

The sentence is: "After a long day at school Cameron likes to chill out with a snack good music and friends."

First, we identify the introductory element. "After a long day at school" is an introductory prepositional phrase. An introductory phrase of four or more words is typically followed by a comma to separate it from the main independent clause. Therefore, a comma is needed after "school".

Analyze the list elements

Using the Comma Usage knowledge point

Next, we look at the list of things Cameron likes to chill out with: "a snack", "good music", and "friends".

In a series of three or more items, commas are used to separate the items (including the Oxford comma before the coordinating conjunction "and").

• The first item is "a snack".
• The second item is "good music".
• The third item is "friends".

Therefore, commas are needed:

1. After "snack" (to separate the first and second items).
2. After "music" (to separate the second and third items before "and").

Match with the options
