c) Unlike other years, we will have, an early spring, I expect, this year.
d) Unlike other years, we will have an early spring I expect this year.
Correct Answer:
The correct answer is 'a'.
Explanation:
The sentence "Unlike other years, we will have an early spring, I expect, this year." is correctly punctuated with commas for the following reasons:
"Unlike other years" is an introductory phrase that provides context for the rest of the sentence. Commas are used to set off introductory phrases from the main clause.
"I expect" is an interrupting or parenthetical phrase that adds additional information but can be omitted without changing the core meaning of the sentence. Commas are used to set off such phrases from the main clause.
The main clause of the sentence is "we will have an early spring this year," and it doesn't require any additional commas because it is a complete thought on its own.

c) One toothpaste according to experts is, generally, the same as another.
d) One toothpaste according to experts is generally the same as another.
Correct Answer:
The correct answer is 'a'.
Explanation:
The commas are used to set off the interrupting phrase "according to experts," which provides additional information but can be omitted without changing the core meaning of the sentence.
The commas help clarify the structure and meaning of the sentence by indicating where the additional, non-essential information is located.
