Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A comma is needed to separate the two different elements of the sentence - "lacking land boundaries" and "it is marked only by a dark patch of rippling weeds". Option A correctly adds the necessary comma. Option B does not include the comma, resulting in a run-on sentence, and Option C adds a comma where one is not needed, creating a grammatical error.
