Which sentence is the correctly written simple sentence? A. Gettysburg is one Civil War battlefield Antietam is another. B. Gettysburg is a Civil War battlefield and so is Antietam. C. Gettysburg and Antietam are Civil War battlefields. D. Gettysburg and Antietam are both Civil War battlefields, and I have toured them both. i think that it is c am i right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can anyone of you help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not a or d because a would require a semi-colon and d just doesn't sound right to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think c is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so help me out here what does semi colon mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a semi colon sort of makes two sentences into one, like: Gettysburg is one Civil War battlefield; Antietam is another.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what a simple sentence is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i dont know that i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a very basic sentence that includes a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. such as He can walk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a simple sentence is a sentence that does not complete its statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a complete sentence, but it doesn't have extra stuff in it. that's why D is not right. D has extra information at the end that is not in simple sentences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but is c right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, C is correct
