The full question is:

Which of the following sentences is properly punctuated?

A) My nephew Davis is a lawyer.

B) For the party we brought cake and ice cream; fruit salad; and punch.

C) Behind my house is a tall, blue spruce tree.

D) Frances called in sick but, she'll be back tomorrow.

My nephew Davis is a lawyer - Should be written as: My nephew, Davis, is a lawyer. For the party we brought cake and ice cream; fruit salad; and punch. - Should be written as: For the party, we brought cake and ice cream; fruit salad, and punch. (no semi-colon!)

I would be tempted to eliminate the "and" and write it to tighten the wording: For the party, we brought cake, ice cream; fruit salad; and punch.

Behind my house is a tall, blue spruce tree. - I believe this is correctly written. The words "blue spruce" should be kept together without a comma.

OR to eliminate confusion about comma placement, I would rewrite it like this to use an active verb: A tall, blue spruce tree stands behind my house.

Frances called in sick but, she'll be back tomorrow. - This is definitely wrong. Correction: Frances called in sick, but she'll be back tomorrow.
