@YanaSidlinskiy

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

Hello? is anyone here?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

As has been stated....... It's words that connect the sentence. Here we have: The winning team had ****both*** boys ****and**** girls, ****but***** not everyone had a chance to play.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

There's ONLY 3 that COMBINE the WHOLE sentence together. It's pretty much directed in the sentence. Shouldn't be that hard.

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

Thx but its hard for me cuz im only a 7th grader

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

is it A. then?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

That's alright. No. Not A. LOOK: "Conjunctions are used to join words or groups of words together. The most common ones are and, or, and but "

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

ok

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

I knew that I was confused on whether it being B. or D. or whether it was one of the other answer choices.

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

so if it's not A., and it's not B., and it's not D., then that means it's C.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

NOT is NOT considered as a conjunction in this sentence.

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

ok

rvc (rvc):

yana i agree with u

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Is that clear?

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

so Yana gets a medal... and Pooja gets a medal ;)

OpenStudy (opticalmango81):

yes
