I agree with Effie. You would have the blank after �zinc � and a comma before and after �for instance � :
Mineral SUCH AS nickel, copper, and zinc, FOR INSTANCE, can be found in salt water.
You would have some commas with �for example � :
Minerals, FOR EXAMPLE nickel, copper, and zinc, can be found in salt water.
hope this will help. |
