Final answer:

The sentence 'No amount of recompense can make up for the suffering I've endured.' correctly uses the bolded word 'recompense', indicating compensation. Other sentences were reviewed for punctuation, with commas being added or omitted to improve clarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked for the correct usage of bolded vocabulary words in a given set of sentences. Here are the corrected sentences with a focus on punctuation:

  1. I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time.
  2. Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet.
  3. Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay.
  4. Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy.
  5. I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police.

And here is the sentence from the question that uses the bolded vocabulary correctly:

No amount of recompense can make up for the suffering I've endured.

This sentence correctly uses the word 'recompense,' which means compensation or payment.
