What is the best way to rewrite this sentence?

A. The cashier, thoughtlessly presented the man with a worn ripped dollar bill.
B. The cashier thoughtlessly presented the man with a worn, ripped, dollar, bill.
C. The cashier, thoughtlessly presented the man, with a worn ripped dollar bill.
D. The cashier thoughtlessly presented the man with a worn, ripped dollar bill.

The answer is d. The comma between the two adjectives (worn and ripped) makes the sentence make sense. All the other answers (including c) don't make sense to me. I strongly believe that d is correct. Repeat "worn ripped dollar bill" in your head (without the comma). It doesn't make sense, right? Then, read it again with the comma. It makes more sense

C) or 3) The cashier, thoughtlessly presented the man, with a worn ripped dollar bill. That is the best answer out of all of them. IF you would like the truly correct answer, it is: The cashier, thoughtlessly, presented the man with a worn, ripped dollar bill. Hope this helps!

The best way to rewrite the sentence is option D: 'The cashier thoughtlessly presented the man with a worn, ripped dollar bill.' This option correctly uses a comma between the two adjectives that describe the dollar bill, making the sentence clearer and grammatically correct.
