To tackle this item, we’ll evaluate each sentence in turn for proper punctuation and grammar.
Option 1: 'Its a sunny day, lets go for a walk.' This contains two common errors: 'Its' should be the contraction 'It’s' with an apostrophe, and 'lets' should be 'let’s' when giving a suggestion. Additionally, there should be a comma after 'day' only if the sentence continues; as written, the comma is misplaced because the rest of the sentence is a command. Overall, this sentence misuses apostrophes and punctuation conventions.
Option 2: 'The students, books were left in the library.' The comma after 'students' is inappropriate here; there should be no comma between the subject and the predicate, and the phrase would require either a binding clause or a dash to show separation. Without that, this punctuation misreads the sentence as a faulty coordination rather than a simple subject-predicate structure.
Option 3: 'She bought apples oranges bananas and grapes.' This sentence is a classic missing-commas problem in a simple list. When listing multiple items in English, we typically separate items with commas (and use a final 'and' before the last item). The absence of commas between the fruits makes the list hard to parse and grammatically incorrect.
Option 4: 'It’s important to check your work for commas, apostrophes, and other punctuation.' This sentence uses punctuation correctly: the contraction 'It’s' has the proper apostrophe, the sentence ends with a period, and the internal comma before 'and other punctuation' is appropriate in a serial list. It also communicates the intended meaning clearly without punctuation errors.
In summary, options 1, 2, and 3 each contain punctuation or grammatical mistakes (apostrophe errors, inappropriate comma usage, or missing separators in a list), whereas option 4 adheres to standard punctuation rules and conveys the intended message correctly.
