b
b
I, have heard, that, too many commas, can, ruin, a good sentence.
However, I prefer comma's to be used sparing.
Yours; Grumpy, Thank you.

Why not word it: 1. I was able to see the owl's nest by climbing higher. and 2. I suppose the riddle will never be solved. This shows a more fluent train of thought. But if you want it o be difficult, then 1=B and 2= A.

Qn 1) b
Qn 2) a. This is because the subject of the sentence is the riddle, and you are essentially saying that "i suppose the riddle will never be solved." Option b does not flow as smoothly and is grammatically wrong.
Hope this helps. :D

1. a. because you do not use a comma if the phrase at the beginning of the sentence is less than 5 words. "climbing higher" is only two words so no comma is needed
2. a. because "i suppose" is nonessential and it interupts the flow of the sentence

What do these jokers get out of giving you the answers? Are they that wrapped up in proving they're supposedly smart that they want to make sure you turn out stupid? People! These are the future leaders of America and will be in charge of Social Security. Cut it out!

I think it's
1) b
2) a
that's where the breaks sound the best, not sure if it's grammatically correct though.

For 1 answer is b; for 2 a is correct
