Explanation
This question tests using commas in addresses (CCSS.L.3.2.b). Addresses use commas to separate parts: street from city and city from state when written in a sentence. In an address written in a sentence use commas after the street address before the city and between the city and state (123 Main Street, Boston, Massachusetts). On an envelope addresses go on separate lines with no comma within the street but a comma between city and state in the city-state-ZIP line (Boston, MA 02101). Never put a comma between the street number and street name or before the ZIP code. In this sentence format address we write street address, then comma and city, then comma and state. The comma goes after street before city and between city and state to separate the parts of the address. Choice A is correct because it places a comma after the street address before the city and between the city and state, with no comma within the street. The commas properly separate street from city and city from state. Choice C is incorrect because it has a comma within the street address. This common error happens when students put commas in wrong places or think commas go between all parts. To help students: Teach address format in sentences: [street], [city], [state]. Commas separate the three main parts. On envelopes addresses go on separate lines: Name / Street / City, State ZIP - comma only between city and state. Never put comma: within street (123, Main) or before ZIP (MA, 02101). Memory trick: Commas separate big parts (street / city / state) not small parts within them. Practice with student's own address. Watch for: missing comma between city and state / comma within street address / comma before ZIP code.
