Answer 1

In this English question, punctuation in a sentence needs to be corrected by adding or removing commas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is English. The student is asked to add or remove commas in a sentence until it has correct punctuation. The given sentence is:

Barney Gumble's pie completely burnt to a crisp was mistaken for chocolate cake at the bake sale.

In this sentence, there should be a comma after crisp as it is a non-essential clause. The correct punctuation should be: Barney Gumble's pie, completely burnt to a crisp, was mistaken for chocolate cake at the bake sale.
