4. A
5. B
6. B
7. A
8. B

EXPLANATION:

1. B
Because is a subordinating conjunction.

Subordinating conjunctions like although , after, as long as, before, even if , even though, if, until , when, whenever follow the following rule:
RULE:
Independent clause + subordinating conjunction + dependent clause====== no comma before the subordinating conjunction.

2. A

We need comma if the subordinating conjunction is at the beginning of the sentence in a dependent class .
Comma is used to separate the dependent from the independent clause.
Subordinating conjunction + dependent clause + comma + independent clause.

3. B
Who study hard for the test is a relative clause
Relative clause is of two types.
A. Restricted relative clause---- essential to the meaning of the sentence.
B. Non - restrictive relative clause

The students (who study hard for the test) will get an A.

- who study hard for the test is a restrictive clause and removing it can change the meaning of the sentence.

Relative clauses begin with the relative pronouns.
who
whom
whose
that
which

------We don't use commas for restrictive relative clause.

4. A
Which is a big city is a non - restrictive relative clause ..The sentence will still retain it's meaning even if we remove it. It's just an added information.

5. B
That she wore last night is essential to the sentence..
It's a restrictive relative clause so we don't need to put commas.

6. B
Coordinating conjunctions like and, but,for , nor, or, yet and so don't need comma when they join an independent clause from a dependent clause.

7. A
We need comma because and joins 2 independent clauses.

8. B
We need comma when a coordinating conjunction joins 2 independent clauses but this is an exemption...

No commas before coordinating conjunctions joining 2 independent clauses which are short.
