how should the underlined lists in the sentence be punctuated?

a: they should be punctuated in the same way. both lists should use commas to separate items.

b: they should be punctuated in the same way. both lists should use semicolons to separate items.

c: they should be punctuated differently. the items in the first list should be separated by commas. the items in the second list should be separated by semicolons.

d: they should be punctuated differently. the items in the first list should be separated by semicolons. the items in the second list should be separated by commas

The correct answer, for those who may still need it, is:

C: They should be punctuated differently. The items in the first list should be separated by commas. The items in the second list should be separated by semicolons.

C

Explanation: Each item in the second list consists of two parts separated by a comma (City and State), therefore, semicolons should be used in that case to relegate commas to a 'secondary place' so they can keep their function in the sentence (separating city from state). The items in the first list, on the other hand, are simple and should be separated by commas as is regularly done.
