<li>B: Hip-high and wire are two adjectives and needs to be seperated by a comma. Lets add a comma after wheels: "When I was growing up in the Bronx, that's what we called the hip-high, wire basket on two wheels, that my parents used for all sorts of errands." Since it seems like the sentence inbetween the commas are extra information, we can take it out. "When I was growing up in the Bronx, that my parents used for all sorts of errands." Doesnt make sense so no comma is needed.</li>
</ol>
<p>2.A: Introduces addtional material.
3. A: None of the others seem correct.</p>
<p>u can use "so" w/ a independent clause? for ex: ind clause, so ind clause?</p>
<p>The answer to all three is No change. No comma is required after "hip-high" because "wire basket" is a noun phrase.</p>
<p>all no change.</p>
<h1>1. the two adjectives hip-high and wire are not interchangable; they cannot be transposed in which case you could use a comma.</h1>
<h1>2. all the other options are outright wrong; the two sentence halves are independent clauses. I'd personally prefer a semicolon or dash, but neither is an option. Use process of elimination.</h1>
<h1>3. Yes, so can be used to link clauses. It's one of the FANBOYS:</h1>

So</p>
<p>hope it helps!</p>
<p>These 3 Qs are extremely weird. I agree and comprehend ur explanations for #2 and #3. BUT For #1, wat do u mean as the "2 adj are not interchangable"
Suppose the sentence was --> The big black wolf stole my cookies.
Then the correct sent. would be ---> The big*,* black wolf stole my cookies. How is this sent. diff from the hip-high & wire sent?</p>
<p>I'm not sure about this, but doesn't there have to be at least 3 words to add a comma? So wouldn't it be just what you had before?</p>
<p>no b/c I thought if there were 2 adj describing a noun, u needed a comma between the 2 adj. --> The big*,* black wolf stole my cookies</p>
<p>me confused?</p>
<p>2 and 3 should be A.</p>
<p>i think 1 should be E, none of the above...</p>
<p>it should be </p>
<p>"hip-high, wire basket on two wheels"-which is not obviously not a choice...</p>
<p>since hip-high does not describe wire, it can be switched with wire to be wire, hip-high basket (yes it sounds weird but thats because hip-high is one of those weird adjectives...)</p>
<p>but if hip-high does describe wire then no comma...i dont know what hip-high means though lol.</p>
<p>hip-high is describing the height of the basket lol
the basket is hip high :D</p>
