Statement 1: this is a spicy hot tamale! statement 2: driving is a dangerous nerve-wracking business! statement 3: would you bring me a bright red apple? statement 4: where are the slightly worn-out slippers? which statement(s) requires a comma between adjectives? a) statement 1 only b) statement 2 only c) statement 3 only d) statement 4 only

  The correct answer is:  [B]:

 " Statement 2 only —

              "Driving is a dangerous nerve-wracking business.  {sic}.

The original statement—that is, "Statement 2" :  

           " Driving is a dangerous nerve-wracking business! " {sic} ;

     →    should be rewritten properly and correctly—by adding a "comma" directly after the word [adjective] , "dangerous" — and before the word [that is an adjective or functions as an adjective— "nerve-wracking" ;  as follows:

         →  " Driving is a dangerous, nerve-wracking business! "

Note the 2 (two) consecutive adjectives:

   "dangerous" ;  and:  

   "nerve-wracking" [which is an adjective; or functions as an adjective.].

Let us add the word:  "and" ; between the two adjectives and rewrite the sentence; as follows:

         →  " Driving is a dangerous and nerve-wracking business! "

This does make sense (in its own right) and does not alter the original meaning of the sentence.

Now, let us switch the order of the 2 (two) consecutive

adjectives and rewrite the sentence; as follows:

         →  " Driving is a nerve-wracking and dangerous business! "

Again, this does make sense (in its own right) and does not alter the original meaning of the sentence.

As such, the given statement should be written properly and correctly with a "comment" between the 2 (two) adjectives; as follows:

         →  " Driving is a nerve-wracking, dangerous business! "

So; this  

→  Answer choice:  [B]:  "Statement 2 only" ;  is the correct answer.

Let us consider the other answer choices to confirm that:

→   Answer choice:  [B]:  "Statement 2 only" is, in fact, the correct answer.

Consider the other answer choices:

Choice:  [A]: " Statement I only."  — "This is a spicy hot tamale."  

Note:  The adjective "spicy" modifies the "noun phrase"—"hot tamale".

If we were to rewrite the sentence, as follows:

        "This is a spicy and hot tamale." — this would sound confusing—compared to the original statement.

Furthermore, if we were to rewrite the sentence as:

       "This is a hot and spicy tamale." — this would sound confusing—compared to the original statement—and could be interpreted as [a] different meaning[s} from the original statement.

So; we can rule out:  Choice:  [A].

Choice:  [C]:  " Statement III only."  —

           "Would you bring me a bright red apple?"

Note:  The adjective "bright" modifies the "noun phrase"—"red".

If we were to rewrite the sentence, as follows:

        "Would you bring me a bright and red apple?" — this would sound confusing—compared to the original statement.

Furthermore, if we were to rewrite the sentence as:

       "Would you bring me a red and bright apple?" — this would sound confusing—compared to the original statement—and could be interpreted as [a] different meaning[s} from the original statement.

So; we can rule out:  Choice:  [C].

Choice:  [D]: " Statement 4 only."  —

           "Where are the slightly worn-out slippers?"  

Note:  The adjective "slightly" modifies the adjective—"worn-out".

If we were to rewrite the sentence, as follows:

        "Where are the slightly and worn-out slippers?" — this would sound confusing and would not make sense—both it in its own right—and compared to the original statement.

Furthermore, if we were to rewrite the sentence as:

       "Where are the worn-out and slightly slippers?" — this, too, would sound confusing and would not make sense—both it in its own right—and compared to the original statement.

So; we can rule out:  Choice:  [D].
