Which of the following sentences contains a comma error? (5 points) a Despite his great hunger, Roger continued his fasting for world peace. b The little, old man could hardly stand up due to his painful arthritis. c I packed my warm sweaters, long pants, and heavy coat for our trip. d While I was working on my homework, there was a bad thunderstorm.

B). The little, old man could hardly stand up due to his painful arthritis.

Explanation:

The Comma(,) is described as the punctuation mark that is employed to indicate separate parts of a sentence or between elements of a list. As per the grammatical rule, a comma(,) can be placed between two adjectives only when they are coordinative adjectives(implies that changing the order of adjectives would not affect the meaning of the sentence and the comma can be replaced with 'and').

As per the question, the second sentence i.e. 'the littlearthritis' contains a comma error as it wrongly places the comma(,) between the Cumulative adjectives('little' and 'old'). But here, this rule does not apply as neither the order of adjectives 'little' and 'old' can be changed nor the comma can be replaced with 'and' as it would directly affect the meaning of the sentence. Thus, this simple sentence does not require a comma and hence, option B is the correct answer.
