Question

Exercise 1 Add commas where necessary. Delete commas used incorrectly using the delete symbol .

The slight woman she smiled shyly and curtsied was Nelly Sachs.

Answer 1

The slight woman, she smiled shyly and curtsied, was Nelly Sachs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first comma is used to separate two phrases that could stand alone as sentences, but have been combined in one sentence: "The slight woman" and "she smiled shyly and curtsied." The second comma is used to set off the interrupting phrase "she smiled shyly and curtsied." The comma after "curtsied" is deleted because it incorrectly separates the subject "was Nelly Sachs" from the verb "was."
