The correct answers for when to use a comma in a sentence are:
1. **To indicate an abrupt break in thought or structure** - Commas can be used to indicate a shift or interruption in a sentence.
2. **To show a pause in a sentence or separate items in a list** - Commas are commonly used to indicate pauses and are essential for separating items in a list.
The other options, **to mark the end of a sentence** (which would typically require a period) and **to denote an omission** (which is usually indicated with ellipses or parentheses, not commas), are not accurate uses for commas.
