Oxford comma is OK so both B and C

C is the correct answer although I'd also accept B reluctantly.
>>534885843All of them are fine. B is the most precise.
>>534885843F
>>534885843>You'll need: x, y and z.
>>534885843/b/
>>534886015Oxford comma isn't exactly idiomatic in united statesean English, but it's accrual l acceptable. If that question was written in America, they're probably fishing for C.
B or C because the Oxford comma is a stylistic choice
Generally C, but if you are an Oxford Commachad, B.
>>534886015>Let me tell you about YOUR language Said the Mexican
The, correct answer, is uh, comma, C, I think
>>534886067>C is the correctGO HOME RANJEET
B uses the Oxford comma, which is appropriate in academic and professional writing but will confuse laymen.C is grammatically correct and acceptable in casual writing environments.
>>534886015>>534886081No comma before and after "and".
A to be overly dramatic
>>534885843B and C duhh
>>534885843B
>>534885843F) None of the aboveYou'll will, need: buttermilk, flour, eggs.

>>534886159>>534886180Yea, C.
>>534886081>All of them are fine. GO BACK ABDULLAH
>>534885843B is preferable. Most people use C, but it's a sign of poor breeding
>>534885843I would say C.Perhaps B is acceptable, but I wouldn't put a comma after flour because it's unnecessary. Those are all ingredients so all one thing.
>>534885843B and C are both correct
>>534885843>Oxford Comma FTWStatus: VINDICATED
>>534885843B. Only lazy kids, illiterates and chinless baldies leave out the oxford comma.

>>534886257Where's the problem, retard?
>>534886221I think I've seen A used in some works of Early Modern English.
B is the CORRECT choiceif you chose C, you are ESL, or mutt educated, likely both.
>>534886234Best answer so far on why it's not C. Oxford comma should be used unless the last two items are directly related.
>>534885843Both B and C are acceptable, depending on locality and historical era.
>>534885843C. Final answer.
>>534886235>flour, and eggs>flour and eggs
>>534885843You'll need; butter, milk, flours, and eggs.

>>534885843Well, US is TURD WORLD, that's why they'd choose C... but the correct answer is B>>534886081Don't bother, unitedstatians are subhumans incapable of grammar and reason. They're so bad, a shiteater from India's sewers has a better understanding of the English language than the Founding Fathers of this TURD WORLD shithole called United States.
>>534885843I play so many story games so I know it's B.
>>534885843They're, all correct
>>534886232>C,.GO HOME BARAT
>>534886476what do you think it is retard
Would be C in my language since the comma and "and" are both conjunctives, making the last comma redundant.
>>534885843A is the winner if the first comma was a semi colon. But it's not, i'm finna go B, Alex

>>534886476Haha you lost tranny hahaha
Consider these sentences, if you chose C"dead bodies, dying and wounded"vs"dead bodies, dying, and wounded"C is low IQ
>>534885843I think its B might be A.
>>534886262>Yea, C.GO BACK HOME MEMEFLAG
>>534886289>I would say C.GO BACK HOME AL SALLAH
>>534885843C or B is correct, though its a debate over the oxford comma at that point, and IMO. C is the most correct because Oxford comma is just for people who want to find a way to interject they know some retarded amount of information that no one actually cares about.
>>534886302>B and C are both correctGO BACK JORGÉ
>>534885843I don’t need any of those things though.
>>534885843I had to hear about the oxford comma every year starting in second grade. Most people just weren't paying attention.In real life I prefer to just use whatever grammer and punctuation makes sense and looks good.

>>534885843C>>534886231>You'll will, need: buttermilk, flour, eggs.No one talks like this.
>>534885843If someone give you a test like that, the only correct answer is to leave the room.
>>534886113The correct way is the comma before the "and"... this is why unitedstatian English is ebonics tier.Also, whites will NEVER be American .
>>534885843B is the correct answer. C makes you look retarded. The others aren't worth mentioning.
>>534886360>Both B and CGO HOME PEREZ
>>534886852We were taught C and I had to learn the Oxford comma on my own from the internet.
>>534886609Full sentence?Dying and wounded after dead bodies doesn't make sense.
>>534886978YALL GON NEED SOME BISQUIK
>>534886798It isn’t arcane information. Use of the Oxford comma just shows you were in school prior to common core, not using it just shows you were educated with lowest common denominator curriculum born of a need to get niggers to pass tests tied to funding.
>>534885843BIf you are trying to be better than other people then you ain't white.
>>534886135Hispanics are the madters of Linguistic articulation... this is why they have madterpieces like "100 Años de Soledad" and "Don Quixote de la Mancha", while the rest of humanity has NOTHING worth reading.

>>534885843A is the correct answer.Comma after every word.
>>534886661>>534886470>>534886409The Oxford/Serial School: This style (preferred by The Chicago Manual of Style and Grammarly) argues that the "and" is a conjunction, not a punctuation mark. They believe a comma is still needed to separate the last two items to ensure clarity and equal emphasis. Example: "Apples, peaches, and bananas."The AP/Journalism School: This style (preferred by the AP Stylebook) argues that the "and" is sufficient to separate the items. They omit the comma unless it is absolutely necessary to avoid confusion. Example: "Apples, peaches and bananas."
>>534885843Anyone who doesn't use the Oxford comma is an unthinking creature
>>534886566I'm not going to tell you, this a third worlder identifier test for a reason
>it's not B or COhhh, I think I get you, OP.propa wite is wateva u wan cos u is king
>>534886609>"dead bodies, dying and wounded">vs>"dead bodies, dying, and wounded"Exactly. It takes on a whole different meaning. That's why the Oxford comma should be generally used and reserved for cases such as that.
technically its C but im a person that will ALWAYS speak and write like B, for effect.
>>534886209>No comma before and after "and".eg: Everyone thought he was retarded, and it was proven correct.

>>534887056"All around me lay the consequences of my decision. The dead [bodies], dying, and wounded littered the battlefield."However, a) I am not that anon and b) I personally would have written it out as "the wounded, the dying, and the dead" because it flows better. "The wounded, dying, and dead" also works, but prose often demands you add a little bit of repetition ("the" being arguably unnecessary in this enumeration) for effect. We're straying from the realm of grammar towards the realm of writing, though.

>>534886209it can be used for clarity, chud.
>>534887742Yeah, bodies shouldn't be in there. It doesn't fit.
>>534885843B is the only correct answer. Anyone who says otherwise is not white.
>>534885843I'd choose B and C and bitchslap the teacher over the Oxford Comma
>>534887902color or colour?favorite or favourite? neighbor or neighbour?honor or honour?
>>534885843B is the correct answer. If you were being graded you’d lose points writing it any other way. Informally C is fine and commonly used. The rest don’t make any sense.

The answer is potato.
>>534885843D
>>534885843B. Oxford commas all the way. Think about how you'd say it verbally; would you pause slightly after each ingredient, or would you mash flour and eggs together at the end like they are the same thing? Clearly, there would be a pause after flour - that's what the Oxford comma is for.

Redditors do something similar where they ad ellipses to delay the resolution of the word>that just feels… wrong It looks retarded because you’re trying to make a simple sentence feel more literary or emotional but it’s not like it’s wrong B and C are the standard
>>534885843B and C are grammatically correct. The Oxford Comma in B removes an ambiguity, however, making it the preferred option.
>>534885843The correct answer is C, but most people would accept B as well.
>not calling your S.O. "and" or "butter" or "milk" or "flour"Oh please, get off my back. It can any sentence, really.

Everyone using the Oxford comma are pedantic, no one in is right mind will think to put a comma here, the only reason to do so is because you learned it at a pedantic school and you want to show that you are above the peasant that didn't go to pedantic school and don't know about the Oxford comma.And the only reason for people like you to be here is that you are a bunch of glownigger.

>>534887902>that jews in the printing industry could save a few cents in ink and paper costInteresting theory, but it's utterly unnecessary for anyone who is sufficiently literate, and omitting the comma after the second to final item supports communication flow. It's pushed in order to lower the bar for what's considered literate and has been hastily adopted by the swarming mass of westerners who can read and write but have no communication skills whatsoever.
>>534890733And even better to have something to say in the first place.
>>534890201So... C is correct hen?American isn't even a language. Its just bastardized English.Just like how Macedonians think Macedonia isn't just the peasant version of Bulgarian.
>>534890644I learned the other way at school and started using the Oxford comma because it read better to me and I learned online that it was allowed.

>>534887902It's important for that and also it's a more accurate way to represent English how it is spoken in written text. A comma typically represents a brief pause in speech and nobody that I know changes their cadence to name the last two items of a list. If and when I am in charge of the English language I will mandate its use.

>>534890763It isn't correct, it's bad English. Flour and eggs can denote flour and eggs as individual items or denote flour and eggs like they are mixed together or part of one unit of something.

>>534892023YOU'RE FUCKING RETARDEDmixing flour and eggs is a step in the recipe not part of the ingredients list you dumb fucking cuntyou fucking retards are really sub 80 iq arent you
b is oxford comma which i prefer for clarity and pacing
B is more correct but C is acceptable.>>534886348>>534889696It's not about whether it improves clarity in this particular example, it's a matter of standardized best practices that catches fringe cases.Flour and eggs might not be a related term today, but imagine someone creates a tabletop card game tomorrow called 'flour and eggs'. Or someone invents a new dish called 'flour and eggs', similar to bubble and squeak. Oxford comma still clarifies that you're listing individual ingredients. For that reason it is the most correct.
>>534892373What recipe are you making. It is about the sentence not a recipe. Maybe a sperg cum-juice cake?
>>534892041>3 commas
>>534892023This isn't as logical as you think, it's just a result of English shortcomings. Guess English is just autistic and retarded. Anyway I will keep writing it like C for comedic effect just like I use "it do be like that" and "Saaar"

>>534887735You forgot the exceptions.
>>534885843BThe flour & eggs do not come together as a pair/unit. Therefore they are listed discreetly from each other.Now, if they literally came in the same package, and the writer knew that, then the answer would be C.If you answered C, you are a midwit.If you answered A, D, or E, you are a retard.

>>534885843B or C can be correct depending on region.
>>534892705back 2 india
>>534892705you put 2 full stops in one sentence
>>534892970Shouldn't*
>>534886209Same logic as I before E, except after C. Except:weirdseizeeitherneitherleisureproteincaffeinecodeine
>>534892970>floating commasDon't start with your tranny shit!!!
The answer is BBC
Now suppose these four women are in the room and tick only one.
I use B every time, it's more elegant Might go for A for dramatic flair if I'm in the mood
>>534890848Americans overwhelmingly use C
>>534888289a tick is a checkmark, anon
>>534893022English should use two different ands, one for mixed stuff and other for enumeration. The comma would be eliminated and the "and" would be repeated every time you add another item, this would be obligatory in speech too.
>>534885843Tick? Do they mean check? A tick is a disgusting insect like a jew. A check is what you do to a box. These fucking tests are really testing if you are antisemitic, not if you are literate. Jewish mind games.
How does this thread nearly at cap? It's B. You learn that shit in elementary school.
>>534885843C is the one everyone usesB is oxford comma nerdshit, so technically the correct one, but thats britshit and this murica ffs
>>534886207how does it confuse laymen? i have always done B because its where you naturally pause while speaking. C just looks retarded
>>534885843it's B
>>534893515It's D chuddie (BTW EFL poltards are homeschooled so they don't learn anything at elementary school)
>>534885843I did what the C people said, but I couldn't find "flour and eggs" at the store
>>534893614Yesh. For a native speaker vibes alone inform pretty accurate placement. You don't even think about the "rules" and just do it.
>>534893515i was homeschooled and even i know its B. the others are just unnatural
>>534886015>oxford comma is okayIT'S THE ONLY CORRECT ANSWER FAGGOT.
>>534885930Lololol negative. In THIS COUNTRY we use the Oxford comma. Good try though Mohammed
>>534888527>Its primary purpose is to clarify meaning and prevent ambiguity>you really think flour eggs are a thing?They could be, all you need is a new marketing term to fuck up your position.
>>534886015>>534887902>for clarity of meaning>A, B, C, and DClearly 4 items>A, B, C and DAllows ambiguity because C&D could count as ONE item in some contextsNow I get it is not just a matter of style, I will start using it.
>>534889960let me get a 48 with extra cheese
>>534886015Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma? I dig those English dramas too
BRetards saying C are either stupid or trolling.
can't believe this thread is full of unironic commanists
>>534893475both work actuallya tick IS what youre talking about. but its also like "making a slight mark". aka a "tick mark"ex>tick off the box the applies best to youthat said, i suspect this test was written for a UK audience (given how B and C are both correct in america, but it says only select ONE), so id imagine its another anglo-ism, like how they call the hood of a car "the bonnet". they prolly just say "tick off" more often than "check off"
>>534885843C, but for some sentences I use B to make the separation more obvious.
>>534885843I don't use commas. I mostly make unambiguous statements open to fluid interpretation
>>534893015>>534893022This is what it looks like to be illiterate.This is what it looks like to be mad about being illiterate.P.S. AP style English common in British journalism justifies itself by stating that the comma is unnecessary because:>"and already acts a separator"This is, however, antithetical to the very concept of the word "and", which serves to pair two or more subjects together into a compound subject. The real reason for this practice is to save money in printing, where they would be using the word "and" anyway.
>>534885930>Never heard of an oxford comma
>>534885843B has oxford comma so that one
>>534893999The problem is that if you go with C, flour and eggs sounds like a singular object instead of two separate things.
>>534893793Unitedstatians don't know their own language

>>534888527You are 100% correct and anyone who disagrees with you is a stupid faggot upset that they just got raped by a CommaChad
>>534894198if you're an absolute retard
>>534885930>>534885843It's this one. Oxford comma my ass
>>534891706Ok, but I need to run to the store and pick up some butter, milk, flour, and eggs first
>>534894271Sorry pal, I don't make the rules.
>>534886234Shove it, leftist
>>534894278based and americapilledbongs eternally irrelevant, even while half the world speaks """their""" language
>>534894355yeah be sure not to pick up the flour and eggsbecause you need flour, eggsstupid cunt>>534894404yeah i know it's not your fault that you're retarded, it's your retard parents fault and your retard jewish governments fault
All my commas besides the obvious situations are guesswork based on what I've seen commonly done. I don't actually know the rules.
>>534894533Why are you mad though? Get angry at the fag who invented English, not me.
>>534894533You have quite the retard folder. I liked the retard squisher and the magic light.
>>534894644it's not a problem with the english language it's a problem with retards like you trying to use it when you're a sub 80 iq nigger monkey cunt>>534894690this ones for you :)
>>534885843Third worlder here. Ctalmud status : denounced
>>534894271Using AP style English (lack of Oxford comma use), perform these two actions:Write out a list of 5 people coming to a party, two of which are a couple who're arriving together.Write out a list of 5 people coming to a party, all of whom are single and are arriving separately.
>>534894771Denounce Vishnu Saaar, denounce the Hindustan Ambassador, Saaaar
>>534894802nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger and nigger went to a party with nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger and niggeryou fucking nigger
>>534890848English does not and has never had a central authority like other languages, even within Britain or even within England. So really there is no official "English" for Americans to bastardize, only different style guides promulgated across the Anglo-Saxon world which are used by different professional organizations for different purposes.B is promoted by most academic institutions (APA, MLA, CMOS), it's also a near-universal standard in acting/scriptwriting just because it tracks spoken language better. C is promoted by journalistic institutions (AP, NYT) because it saves page space and ~95% of the time the ambiguity it introduces is irrelevant anyways(for example "I want to thank my parents, my dog and my cat", read literally it could be interpreted as my parents are my dog and my cat, but that's obviously not true, so people know what was meant anyways)Most style guides these days specify that it's OK to use it or not use it if using it/not using it risks introducing undesired ambiguity into your sentence. Ultimately Angloids do our language like we do our law.
>>534894802Tim, Timmy, Timothy, Timaela and Tihmee (last 2 fugg)
>>534885843This a actually homosexuality test.B is "correct" if you have a faggy manner of speech and take a brief pause to reflect upon how much cock you've sucked today prior to revealing the last item in a list.Meanwhile, option C is based and American wherein we get to the point quickly and fluidly, without a pause before the "and" which is only used for narcissistic homosexual posturing.
>>534894840Please show nose, boludo
>>534894771i was actually thumbing through it the other dayaside from the usual goyim are cattle/gods chosen nonsense, theres actually a lot of funny stuff in there. certain parts i can rly only accurately explain as "ancient schizoid conspiracy hour". did you know that when caligula died that YHWH @d the entire world directly to let everyone know in aramaic? also nero was a jew. one of several seekretly jewish emperors, according to the talmud. funny stuffi think if the zionists werent actively trying to use the talmud as a blueprint for world domination, then id probably have a much rosier view of jews in general. i wouldve totally been getting drunk in ancient rome talking to some crazy yid about how he was the cousin to the emperor.at any rate, its certainly a much better read than the fucking quran. the persians who actually bothered to write that stuff down (several centuries after all primary sources were dead. how convenient) couldnt even be fucked to put it in order. mustve been stoned

>>534885843It's B, you retards, unless you are for some reason choosing not to use the Oxford comma
>>534894765>it's not a problem with the english language it's a problem with retards like you trying to use it when you're a sub 80 iq nigger monkey cuntDamn dude, I don't know what kangaroo shit in your cheerios this morning but that sucks. You should try being less mad the rest of today.
>>534894944>because it tracks spoken language better.No actually. C tracks spoken language better. B is to emphasize how much of a cunt one might be.>ambiguityLet's take the following sentence:This morning we'll be learning math, grammar and history, and then we'll be head outside for recess.Imagine sticking a fag comma in that type of sentence. At that point you'd need to take a comfortable spoken sentence and split it up into two for it not to look retarded in written form with multiple. There is literally never a need for a comma when "and" is being used before the last member of a list. It only serves to introduce ambiguity in more complex sentences.
>>534895834i'm not even mad you dumb cuntyou should try being less retarded but it wont matter how hard you try you'll still be retarded
>>534893709They told me about "Tim and Eric" working at the store, but I never found that one guy named Tim-and-eric, guess they lied to me
Grammatically, B is considered the most precise, as it correctly uses the Oxford comma (or serial comma) before the final item in the list. This is the standard for most academic and formal style guides (such as the Chicago Manual of Style) because it eliminates potential ambiguity.C is also widely accepted, particularly in journalistic styles (like the AP Stylebook), which generally omit the final comma unless it is necessary for clarity.In the context of a multiple-choice test, B is almost certainly the intended "correct" answer because it follows the formal rule of separating all items in a series. Options A, D, and E are incorrect because they use commas in places that disrupt the flow of the sentence or misplace them entirely.
C and if you argue about anything else you're conformist retard
>>534885843Either B or C are both generally acceptable. You can ask your ESL if they have a preference for their course work, just to be sure you don’t lose any marks.
If you put a , before "and" you are a moron.
>>534895773>You'll need butter (pause) milk (pause) flour (pause) (another pause) eggsAbsolutely retarded
>>534896428i like puta
