Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Markets are made up of merchants who set up shop under a tent, on a blanket, or behind a stand.

The list of phrases (beginning with under, on, or behind) require comma to separate them. The tricky one is the comma before the or.

Or is a coordinate conjunction. You are separating equal things, and commas are used to separate equally weighted phrases as in this sentence.
