For the second example, I chose *"A. whom"* as the correct answer, and it would be my only answer if I was limited to choosing a single answer. Yet, while not being aware of any such limitations placed upon my answer, I ultimately chose *:"A. whom"* in conjunction with *"B. accident, because",* as my final answer, as some are so inclined to state in a specific situation. Although there are no rules that would require having a comma placed in that position, I would have chosen it based upon my recollection of what I have been "taught" that a writer is free to use a comma almost anywhere that they see fit if they feel that it would bring more clarity to the sentence. If I were to write that sentence, then I would want to place a comma between "accident" and "because" to provide greater clarity. When the lovely educator, Kathleen Jasper, read the sentence aloud, she included a pause where I would want to place a comma, which adds to my point. Perhaps placing a comma in that position is frowned upon, and hence considered not the best punctuation to use on that sentence, but is there any rule that makes placing a comma in said position incorrect?

Please lecture about closed/opened vowels words. How to identify them. On NYSTCE it gives lists of words, and asks which one is close/open vowel word?
We go over that in our Foundations of Reading Test study guide. I will add it to my list for videos.
Hi I’m planning to take GKT grammar since my 2nd attempt score I score an 179 so I need more grammar videos uploaded
Did you know that the United Kingdom had just recently formed their ministry of justice in 2007?
Why do people say "me and ___" instead of "___ and I" or "___ and me"? So frustrating!
The worst is, "Me and her are going to the store." My grandmother would say, "wrong wrong wrong!" Thanks for watching :)
