Based on what I said in the last question what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (lonelyy__):

I thought that there was nothing wrong with it, but maybe the second one

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

If you are stuck, I would recommend canceling some options out, do any f the sentences seem to have dangling modifiers?

OpenStudy (lonelyy__):

The last one doesn't sound right

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

I agree so A B C are left.

OpenStudy (lonelyy__):

alright

OpenStudy (lonelyy__):

A is wrong

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

In my opinion, C seems like a run-on.

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

I think B flows pretty well and the modifiers seem to be in the right place, do you agree?

OpenStudy (lonelyy__):

Yes, C seems like it could use a comma, or be broken into two sentences

OpenStudy (lonelyy__):

thank you
