OpenStudy (is3535):

ill say A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B, the comma is in a place that makes it a fragment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No its A xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because B makes no sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's what does NOT correctly fix this sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh

OpenStudy (is3535):

one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I passed run ons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think C.

OpenStudy (is3535):

so C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, may be D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are three independent clauses in the original sentence. The simplest correction isn't in the list of possible answers: - That was quite a traffic jam. Many drivers honked their horns. One car blocked the intersection. Let's look at each of the possible answers: A. is not a good answer because there is still a comma splice between the second and third clauses. B. is not a good answer for the same reason. C. is not a good answer because there is still a comma splice between the first and second clauses. D. is a good answer. Between the second and third clauses are both a comma and a coordinating conjunction. Between this compound sentence and the first clause is a semicolon. Both of those alterations are as legitimate as simply splitting the clauses into separate sentences.
