Final answer:
The two sentences that are correctly punctuated are: A. 'The printer only works with expensive, blue ink cartridges.' and D. 'Left out in the intense, hot sun all day, the ice melted quickly.'
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires choosing two sentences that are correctly punctuated from the options provided. The sentences correctly punctuated are:
A. The printer only works with expensive, blue ink cartridges.
and
D. Left out in the intense, hot sun all day, the ice melted quickly.
These sentences are correctly punctuated as they correctly use commas for listing adjectives and for phrases that provide additional information. Now let's address the provided review questions regarding punctuation:
- I’ve finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time. (A comma is used before the coordinating conjunction 'and' that connects two independent clauses.)
- Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet. (The comma before 'and' is removed when it joins two verbs done by the same subject.)
- Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay. (Omit the comma after 'skyline' as it's unnecessary before the conjunction 'and' joining two nouns.)
- Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy. (The comma after 'store' indicates the start of a subordinate clause and we need a comma after 'ice cream' and 'pizza' to separate items in a series.)
- I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police. (The comma after 'phone' is removed as the sentence is not confusing without it and the 'because' clause isn't a parenthetical.)
