O There should be commas after "coming." "company." "parents," and "friend."
There should be commas after company," "parents," and "friend."
There should be commas after "parents" and "friend."
O There should be commas after "coming," "parents." and "friend."

Answer 1

After reading the sentence, we can identify the following place for commas:

B. There should be commas after "company," "parents," and "friend."

• The part "with real estate tax bills coming and no raises expected at the company," even though long, functions as an introductory sentence. Thus, a comma must come right after its last word ("company").

• Notice that, if we add a comma after the word "coming", we will change the meaning of the sentence a little. So, it is best not to add it there.

• Then, we have a list of people whom Jack asked for raises. Whenever we list more than two items, we must place commas to separate each of them.

• Therefore, commas must come after "parents" and "friends".
