Question

Select the sentence that has the correct punctuation.

Answer

A sentence needs to end with some form of punctuation, either a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. The two choices that don't end with a punctuation mark are not correct. Also, each sentence contains a list of items, "chips, candy, and soda". When we have a list of three or more items, a comma needs to go between the items in a list.

The correct answer is, "I went to the store to get chips, candy, and soda."
