Any ideas?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

I believe it is C, I thought it was A, but it doesn't quite sound right.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is correct.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

I am 90% sure that you are correct

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Okey day then, thank you. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome. ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know why A is incorrect?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

Yes do you have any ideas why the answer wasn't A?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

urm, it started a new idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is incorrect because a comma can not stand alone. If so, then the sentence is incorrect.

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Ohhhh, okay. :D Thanks again
