Odonnell · Answer 1

B - Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia, for over twenty years.

Explanation:

Atlanta, being the capital of the state of Georgia, is written separated with a comma from Georgia to show that both locations are not the same.

The second comma after Georgia, puts a pause before the continuation of the statement for easier comprehension.

"Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia." could be a complete statement.

However,

"Jessica has lived in Atlanta, Georgia, for over twenty years." gives more detail to the statement.
