I will help you more, if you can't find it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's A but then again i'm not sure with this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait yeah a whoops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think B would be more of a run on sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use process of elimination it helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i meant a for correct one b for an incorrect one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well, looks like A contains 2 clauses. 1st clause is independent, and the other is subordinate. So I wouldn't really call it simple, would I? B is just incorrect, due to a lack of a comma. C is connected with a conjunction, and therefore is not a run on sentence... but "this and that" type of phrase, as I sometimes like to call it. I would choose C. D is certainly very compound... even puzzling.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMg i thought C too but i then it says "from outer space" and i didn't know if that was true or not

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not an English teacher, but I am pretty sure:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i would go with C cause if 2 think C then C should be correct lol
