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, "eggs, milk, and bread". 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 eggs, milk, and bread."

Question

Select the complete sentence.

Answer

A complete sentence expresses a complete thought. The sentence needs to have a subject and a verb. The only sentence that is a complete thought and has both a subject and a verb is "Each kid on the team played." The subject is "kid" and the verb is "played". The other answer choices are sentence fragments, meaning they do not express a complete thought.
