Without rewording the sentence, add or delete commas so the sentence has proper punctuation. Graciela, spent several, long hours working, on the company's proposal.

Final answer:

In the sentence, 'Graciela, spent several, long hours working, on the company's proposal.' the commas are not necessary for the sentence structure. The corrected sentence is 'Graciela spent several long hours working on the company's proposal.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence: 'Graciela, spent several, long hours working, on the company's proposal.' should be punctuated as follows: 'Graciela spent several long hours working on the company's proposal.' In this sentence, the use of commas was unnecessary. Commas typically indicate a brief pause in the sentence or separate items in a list, neither of which is necessary in this sentence. Removing the extra commas makes the sentence more concise and easier to read, without changing the original wording or intent.
