The sentence with correct punctuation is A, which appropriately uses a comma before the conjunction 'and' to connect two independent clauses. Quincy will cook dinner, and I will eat it
The sentence that uses punctuation correctly is A: "Quincy will cook dinner, and I will eat it." This sentence correctly employs a comma to separate two independent clauses connected by the conjunction "and." In sentence B, the lack of punctuation creates a run-on sentence. Sentence C omits the necessary comma before the conjunction. Sentence D incorrectly punctuates two independent clauses with a comma, which results in a comma splice. In English punctuation rules, independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (like 'and') should be separated by a comma. These rules help to clarify the structure of the sentence for the reader, making the author's intended meaning clear.

The correct sentence is A: "Quincy will cook dinner, and I will eat it." It uses punctuation correctly by placing a comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" that connects two independent clauses. The other options either lack necessary punctuation or misplace it.
