Question 6 • DBN LA 2-CR

How can the two independent clauses below be combined to form a correct complete sentence? Check all that apply.Jonas has homework. It isn’t finished.

Answer
A
Jonas has homework, but it isn’t finished.
B
Jonas has homework that isn’t finished.
C
Jonas has homework, it isn’t finished.
D
The homework that Jonas has isn’t finished.
E
Jonas has homework; isn’t finished.

Explanation

A is correct because “but” joins the two independent clauses and shows contrast. B combines them using “that isn’t finished” as a clause describing the homework. D also forms a complete sentence by making “The homework that Jonas has” the subject. C joins two independent clauses with only a comma, creating a comma splice, and E leaves out the subject of the second clause after the semicolon.
