For my grammar assignment I reviewed the quick comma usage tips at the OWL site < http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/607/01/ > to make sure I wasn't doing them wrong. Most of what I read was stuff I already knew but it was interesting seeing some rules that I hadn't seen before such as if you use commas to sepparate more than three clauses in a sentence your grammatically incorrect. I'd never seen that limit before. Anyway I reviewed the conclusion to my research paper and made the following corrections:
Based on the current situation in Iran, what are the likely outcomes(took out a comma here) and what steps can we take to ensure the best outcome for the American people. We have looked at the two possible methods of resolution to the situation with Iran,(replaced semi colon with comma here) military conflict and peaceful resolution. We’ve looked at the factors involved with these two possibilities,(added comma here) and some suggestions have been made as to how to secure the preferable resolution; peaceful. The situation with Iran is an extremely complex situation, as is any international crisis. When responding to it one needs to work from a wide variety of angles in order achieve success. In addition to this wide range of approaches it is also important to keep in mind the other side, Iran. We can’t allow ourselves to be one-sided in our efforts and negotiations as no peaceful resolution will be reached if we alienate the Iranian people.
