@CallMeKiki help me

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

Which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

We can eliminate A, because that would be cutting into the middle of an unfinished thought.

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

And you just don't do that.

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

Same with B.

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

So do you think it is C or D?

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

Let me help you by writing the sentence with the semicolon.

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

The train ride to Orlando, Florida, was comfortable; the weather there was hot and muggy.

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

The semicolon comes after the word "comfortable"

OpenStudy (callmekiki):

So the answer is C.
