Before I give any feedback, which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would think B

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

Hmm. So, sentences can be joined together. You can join these two: I want a dog. I got it yesterday. But, you have to combine it with a comma and then a conjunction, or the words and, or, but, and so. EX: I want a dog, and I got it yesterday. However, B is combined with a comma, but it is missing a conjunction. Therefor, B cannot be the answer. Which one has two sentences combined using a conjunction and a comma?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is A

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

Well, A is missing a comma. It should be: Frieda packed her suitcase with clothing, accessories[,] and paperback books.

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

Besides, you aren't supposed to directly state answers here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is not right because a comma separates two complete thoughts. And a good tip to check is by flipping the sentences after and before comma and see if it makes sense and B doesn't.
