writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
rapidly. Automakers
B
rapidly, automakers
C
rapidly automakers
D
rapidly; automakers
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The comma correctly separates the dependent clause starting with "Because" from the main independent clause.
Choice A is incorrect because it creates a sentence fragment. Choice C is incorrect because it creates a fused sentence. Choice D is incorrect because a semicolon cannot follow a dependent clause.
