Final answer:
The correctly punctuated sentence using coordinate adjectives is 'Maggie was a strong, smart, confident woman.' Commas are used to separate adjectives that can be connected by 'and' or rearranged without altering the sentence's meaning.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct sentence that uses commas for coordinate adjectives is: Maggie was a strong, smart, confident woman. This sentence properly separates the adjectives with commas without placing a comma before the noun 'woman,' which would be incorrect.
To correctly use commas with coordinate adjectives, you apply them to separate adjectives that individually modify the noun in the same way. If you can place 'and' between the adjectives without changing the sentence's meaning, or if you can rearrange the adjectives without affecting the meaning, they are coordinate and should be separated by commas.
