Which sentence contains a punctuation error?

• The Declaration of Independence was signed on July, 4, 1776.

• Mars, Venus, and Mercury are all planets located in our solar system.

• Is the mayor of Chicago, Illinois a woman?

• Martin, someone just hit our car!

Answer explanation

The correct way to write this date would be July 4, 1776. Only one comma is needed in a full date - and it should be put between the day (4th) and the year (1776). No comma is supposed to be placed right after the month.
