Decide where a comma is needed in the following sentence.

Question

Maria needed to go to the library but I wanted to go to the mall.

between the words “Maria” and “needed”

between the words “wanted” and “to”

between the words “but” and “I”

between the words “library” and “but”

Answer 1

The correct placement for a comma in the sentence "Maria needed to go to the library but I wanted to go to the mall" is between the words "library" and "but."

The revised sentence would be: "Maria needed to go to the library, but I wanted to go to the mall."

This comma is used to separate the two independent clauses.
