Could you tell me what you think the answer is? I think that's a better way to do things. xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i Think it is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unfortunately the answer is not A. Look at the end of the sentence; the punctuation is outside the quotations. That's hard to notice sometimes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then i think it is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great work! The comma use is perfect in C, unlike the other answer choices.

Good job!
