Where should commas be placed (in the paragraph above) to correct an error in construction? (Lesson 6)

Answer 1

The paragraph provided has a few areas where commas could be added for clarity and correct punctuation. Here’s a revised version with the necessary commas:

"Vicky, an outspoken teenager, is running for student government president. She has some great ideas for how her school can use technology to improve classroom instruction and make learning more fun. She also wants her peers to have more say in the cafeteria’s lunch menu. Vicky has gained the support of many of her classmates and teachers."

The added commas clarify that "an outspoken teenager" is an appositive that provides additional information about Vicky.
