Correctly Punctuated Sentence Explanation:
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A': "Are you coming to the party, or are you busy?"

2. Commas are used before coordinating conjunctions like "or" when they connect two independent clauses in a compound sentence.
3. This punctuation rule helps clarify the sentence's structure and makes it easier to read and understand.
Therefore, option 'A' is the correctly punctuated sentence.

Edu Impact answered |
A slash (/) is commonly used to separate the parts of a date (month/day/year). For example, "June/21/2023".
Why other options are incorrect:
Colon (:): A colon is used to introduce a list or explanation. For example, "We bought groceries: bread, milk, and eggs." It's also used to separate time (2:00 PM) or ratios (3:1).
Semicolon (;): A semicolon is used to connect independent clauses that are closely related in meaning. It can also be used to separate items in a list when those items are complex or contain commas. For example, "She went to the store; he stayed home."
Hyphen (-): A hyphen is used to connect words that form a compound word (like "cross-country") or to indicate a range (like "pages 10-20"). It's also used in some names (like "Jane-Doe").
