Final answer:
The sentences are completed using conjunctions 'or,' 'so,' 'but,' 'or,' and 'and,' and punctuation rules for coordinating conjunctions are applied to review questions, following the FANBOYS acronym for comma placement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's fill in the blanks with suitable conjunctions in the given sentences:
- You cannot go to school or to the playground when you are sick.
- I will hang my clothes, so they will dry.
- John was asleep, but his brother was still awake.
- You can walk, run or take the bus.
- I'll have the white sugar, and you can have the brown sugar.
Next, let's review sentences for comma placement regarding coordinating conjunctions:
- I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time. (Comma is correctly placed before and.)
- Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet. (No comma is needed because it is connecting two verbs.)
- Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay. (No comma is needed before and because it is not joining two independent clauses.)
- Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy. (Commas are correctly placed to separate a dependent clause at the beginning and items in a list.)
- I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police. (No comma is needed because the because clause doesn't precede the main clause.)
Remember the acronym FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) to help remember coordinating conjunctions used to connect independent clauses.
