Detailed explanation-1: -Don’t overuse commas. The mistake: I went home, and ate dinner. Why it’s wrong: Using too many commas can also be grammatically incorrect. For example, a comma splice occurs when you connect two independent clauses with only a comma instead of a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction.
Detailed explanation-2: -A comma is most commonly used to indicate where there would be a natural pause in speech. ‘It was a tiring day, so tiring he fell asleep on the train and missed his stop. ‘ A comma can also be used to separate items in a list.
Detailed explanation-3: -Let’s examine the sentence: “I congratulate you for your success in the examination.” The sentence wrongly uses “for” with “congratulate.” The preposition that is used with “congratulate” is “on.” So, the error is in Part B of the sentence. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
