Answer 1

C. Silvia lost her watch, but Jeremiah found it and returned it.

Step-by-step explanation:

c. is the best way to correct the sentence here, it adds a comma to seperate the independent clauses. since the sentence already has the word but, we don't need to add a conjunction to fix the sentence from becoming a comma splice.
