Which sentence is punctuated correctly? ('Myths, legends and stories that inspire')
Swinging his arms to warm up he started, to size up his opponent.
Swinging his arms to warm up, he started to size up his opponent.
Swinging, his arms to warm up he started to size up his opponent.
Swinging his arms to warm up he started to size up his opponent.
Swinging his arms to warm up he started to size up his opponent
Answer explanation
This is a complex sentence with the subordinate clause at the beginning ("Swinging his arms to warm up" doesn’t make sense by itself and is therefore the subordinate clause). Therefore, the comma goes after the end of the subordinate clause.
