Final answer:
Option C). The sentence with a misspelled word is 'having dinner together was an every day occurrence when I was younger,' where 'every day' should be one word, 'everyday.' Additionally, provided are the correct uses of commas for five different sentences.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence that contains a misspelled word is: c) having dinner together was an every day occurrence when I was younger. The correct phrase should be 'everyday' as it is used to describe something that is ordinary or standard, not something that happens over the course of several days. For the word 'every' to be placed before 'day' separately would imply a daily occurrence rather than an ordinary one, which is not the intention of the sentence.
