Right -- and a familiar set of statements. :-)
B because you don't need a comma after rental.
Beverly, you are wrong. Read the directions more carefully.
d
Correct! The incorrectly punctuated sentence is D because it should be "Yes, I found the DVD under the big pile of laundry by your bed." with a comma after "Yes" for direct address.
b
I apologize for the confusion. Yes, you are correct. The incorrectly punctuated sentence is B because it needs a comma after "room" to separate the dependent and independent clauses: "If you cleaned your room, maybe you would be able to find the DVD." Well done!
