@inowalst help me again if you want

OpenStudy (inowalst):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

A

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Why? You dont pause when you read that sentence, so why add a comma?

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

you know I was thinking c but I messaged a friend before I did message u and he said a

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Well, unless he can explain his answer, I wouldn't go with A.

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

so is C correct

OpenStudy (inowalst):

@EclipsedStar @AlexandervonHumboldt2 I dont think C is right..

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

A and C are both incorrect.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Okay good to know I wasn't misleading you.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Try saying the sentence out loud.

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Correct.

Yes, D is correct.
