Read the paragraph.

Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal, black cat, Max.

How should this paragraph be revised so that it is correct?

The word “soccer” should be capitalized.

The comma after “however” should be removed.

The word “cat” should be capitalized.

The comma after “loyal” should be removed.

Answer:

The comma after “loyal” should be removed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The removal of the comma after the word "loyal" is necessary because the words "loyal" and *black" are adjectives describing the cat and shouldn't be separated by a comma.

A comma serves different functions in grammar which includes introducing a pause in a sentence and there is no need for the pause because the adjectives are about a common thing and not a separate idea.
