Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

parts. It's

B

parts, it's

C

parts; it's

D

parts it's

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. The comma correctly separates the dependent clause starting with "While" from the main independent clause.

Choice A is incorrect because it creates a sentence fragment. Choice C is incorrect because a semicolon cannot follow a dependent clause. Choice D is incorrect because it creates a run-on sentence.
