Answer 1

@Whitemonsterbunny17 Is it D agian? :P just wanna be sure

Answer 2

I would say C

Answer 3

Why C? @charlotte123

Answer 4

, as a result, < does the look correct?

Answer 5

*that
Talk about errors >_>

Answer 6

Yes, actually, that does look correct.
Look at choice D. It contains a sentence fragment.

Answer 7

If I were to just randomly type :As a result, he walked into town to get batteries for his CD player."
You would be missing some information, for example, "as a result of what?".

Answer 8

It dosen't, to me at least.
Sentence D looks correct, however. No errors spotted...

Answer 9

But does ", as a result," < Is that comma really supposed to be there?

Answer 10

A comma is used to insert a break for breath.
If it didn't include both commas, it would sound mashed together.

Answer 11

"as a result" ---> CONNECTIVE ---> should come after a full stop (a period).

Answer 12

D is incorrect?

Answer 13

I'd say C.

Answer 14

D's correct, to me at least :P All of 'em are, except for C

Answer 15

@tHe_FiZiCx99 Thank you ;-;

Answer 16

For?

Answer 17

D contains a sentence fragment, though.

Answer 18

D's actually correct.

Answer 19

Answer 20

Explain?
I see how C looks fishy, but I do not see how D doesn't contain a sentence fragment.

Answer 21

A fragment is a incomplete sentence. D doesn't have an incomplete sentence.

Answer 23

@adrynicoleb studied this for years. She can help you ~

Answer 24

"As a result, he walked into town to get batteries for his CD player."
Without the other sentence in front, there is incomplete information.
But I do not want to argue. I'll leave now.

Answer 25

But the other sentence Is In front of that sentence
Thus, It has no errors, and It's a complete sentence
But okay ( ͡; ͜ʖ ͡;)

Answer 26

Lol sorry Bunny, but I agree with Fiz and Char >.<

C is considered a run-on sentence...There should be a semi-colon right where the first coma is...Or it could be made into two separate sentences. .-.

I could be wrong though :P

Answer 27

Answer 28

C has the error then?

Answer 29
