Answer 2

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is: "Adam went home early, so he never met Janine." Here's why:

In this sentence, there are two independent clauses: "Adam went home early" and "he never met Janine." These clauses could stand alone as separate sentences.

When two independent clauses are joined together with a coordinating conjunction (such as "so"), a comma should be placed before the coordinating conjunction. This is known as a comma splice.

Therefore, the correct way to punctuate this sentence is to place a comma before the coordinating conjunction "so" to separate the two independent clauses: "Adam went home early, so he never met Janine."

• Option A is missing the comma before the coordinating conjunction "so" and is therefore incorrect.
• Option C has an extra capital letter at the beginning of the sentence, which is not needed and is therefore incorrect.
• Option D has two commas placed incorrectly around the word "early," which is a comma splice. The comma should be placed only before the coordinating conjunction "so." Therefore, option D is also incorrect.

Overall, the correctly punctuated sentence is: "Adam went home early, so he never met Janine."
