I think it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kind of think it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i think that B is a run on sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but if you have a semi colon, you don't need to use 'but' and D has a semi colon and 'but'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk man, my first choice was D but the 'but' is throwing me off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jacobwat is right. It should be D. And it couldn't be B, @winchester67, cause there would still need to be a comma before 'but'. And the rest with 'but's all have semi-colons in the wrong place
