Example Question #4 : Map 2nd Grade Language Arts
Select the sentence that has the correct punctuation.
I went to the store to get eggs milk and bread.
I went to the store to get eggs, milk, and bread.

I went to the store to get eggs, milk, and bread.
A sentence needs to end with some form of punctuation, either a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. The two choices that don't end with a punctuation mark are not correct. Also, each sentence contains a list of items, "eggs, milk, and bread". When we have a list of three or more items, a comma needs to go between the items in a list.
The correct answer is, "I went to the store to get eggs, milk, and bread."

Each kid on the team played.
Each and every kid on the team.
Each kid on the team.

The only sentence that is a complete thought and has both a subject and a verb is "Each kid on the team played." The subject is "kid" and the verb is "played". The other answer choices are sentence fragments, meaning they do not express a complete thought.
