B. I have never sung before a large crowd, as a matter of fact.

Sherlyn Mcknight · Answer 2

Only b uses commas correctly.

a - there should not be a comma after "way"

c - there should be a comma after "speaking"

d - there should a comma after "ensembles"

I would have preferred: As a matter of fact, I have never sung before a large crowd.
