Question

which sentence needs a comma between the coordinating adjectives
a kirk and patrick are students at a small private school.
b lacey wore a sheer shiny dress to senior prom.
c the cozy electric blanket kept jessica warm through the night.
d a pair of two chubby piglets were born on the farm this morning.

Explanation:

To determine which sentence needs a comma between coordinating adjectives, we first recall that coordinating adjectives are adjectives that modify the same noun and can be reversed or separated by "and" without changing the meaning.

• For option A: "small" and "private" are not coordinating adjectives (we can't say "private small school" or "small and private school" in the same sense as coordinating adjectives; they are more like cumulative adjectives with different types of modification).
• For option B: "sheer" and "shiny" both modify "dress". We can say "shiny sheer dress" or "sheer and shiny dress" without changing the meaning, so they are coordinating adjectives and should have a comma between them (i.e., "sheer, shiny dress").
• For option C: "cozy" and "electric" are not coordinating adjectives ("electric cozy blanket" doesn't make sense, and they serve different modifying purposes).
• For option D: "two" is a numeral and "chubby" is an adjective; they are not coordinating adjectives.

Answer:

B. Lacey wore a sheer shiny dress to senior prom.
