Question

identify the sentence that is punctuated correctly.
the event will be held on sunday october 7 2018.
the event will be held on sunday, october 7, 2018.
the event will be held on sunday october 7, 2018.
the event will be held on sunday, october 7 2018.

Explanation:

To determine the correct punctuation for a date in a sentence, we follow the rule for writing dates: when the day of the week, month, day, and year are included, we use a comma after the day of the week, a comma after the day (if the year follows), and a comma before the year.

• First option: Lacks commas after "Sunday" and after "7", so incorrect.
• Second option: Has a comma after "Sunday", a comma after "7", and before "2018", which follows the date - punctuation rule.
• Third option: Lacks a comma after "Sunday", so incorrect.
• Fourth option: Lacks a comma after "7", so incorrect.

Answer:

B. The event will be held on Sunday, October 7, 2018.
