So for this one.... I think the answer is B or D, but if the answer was to be B there would need to be a comma after however, right?

ilovemypomchi17:

This is my last question btw.... for now

umm:

Option C - dates she The original sentence is grammatically correct, and Option C maintains the correct structure without introducing unnecessary conjunctions. The semicolon (;) appropriately connects the two independent clauses, and "she" starts the second clause. Therefore, "My mom waited up for me and always asked whether I'd had a good time on my dates; she never stayed awake long enough to hear the answer" is the correct form.

ilovemypomchi17:

so there is no change or its option C?

ilovemypomchi17:

Because its asking for the one that corrects the error and in this case there is no error

umm:

"No change" is also a valid option in this case. The original sentence, "My mom waited up for me and always asked whether I'd had a good time on my dates; she never stayed awake long enough to hear the answer," is grammatically correct and effectively conveys the intended meaning. It all really depends on the writer's preference. If the writer prefers a more concise structure, they might choose Option C. However, if they prefer the original structure with a slight pause indicated by the semicolon, they can stick with "No change." A more concise structure often involves removing unnecessary words or phrases while maintaining clarity and meaning. In the context of the given sentence, the goal is to express the idea more directly.
