B?? idk wait for melodic on this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they know all the rules i just go by how it sounds

OpenStudy (is3535):

ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it would be A because it would connect the two independent clauses and the But Megan would be used as a a starting part

OpenStudy (is3535):

ok ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt see the extra semi colon xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea thats what i was thinking too lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this ones confusing af

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait maybe it would be A though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah they all look pretty wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or no bc theyre not both independent clauses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wouldn't be a because seimi colons are used to connect two independent clauses and But Megan is not independent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i just saw that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (is3535):

ITS C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c doesnt have a comma after fishing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it had an extra semi colon but that was a smudge on my screen

OpenStudy (is3535):

SO A OR D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fishing; but Megan,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that it's A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its A D wouldnt work because those would have to be commas yeah i accidentally saw it as fishing;but megan;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay
