Which list of places require semicolons instead of commas? (1 point)

Question

A Sacramento, california, Denver, Colorado, phoenix, Arizona, and Santa Fe, New Mexico
B north dakota, south dakota, South Carolina, West Virginia
C brazil, Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia
D europe, Asia, africa, and Australia

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. In a list where the items contain commas (like the names of countries), semicolons are used to avoid confusion.

So the list would look like this using semicolons: Brazil; Venezuela; Colombia; Ecuador; Chile; Argentina; Peru; and Bolivia.

The other options do not require semicolons because they do not contain internal commas within each item.
