Your friends are having a discussion after class about the use of the serial comma. explain two specific reasons that the serial comma should be used in your writing.

A serial comma should be used for the two following reasons:

1. It should be used before a coordinating conjunction (before and or or ) with three or more items. For example:

2. In order to avoid ambiguity and confusion. For example:

(In the first sentence, we assume that the writer's parents are Rebecca and Luis, while in the second one we assume that the speaker talked to four different people, to his/her two parents, to Rebecca and to Luis. So, the use of the serial comma is the only way to lead the reader to the correct conclusion.)

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
