Select the clause from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the sentence.

___________________________Benjamin Franklin was a world-renowned scientist.

A. Because he made, significant discoveries about electricity,
B. Because he made, significant discoveries about electricity
C. Because he made significant discoveries about electricity,
D. Because he made significant discoveries about electricity

Answer 1

C: Because he made significant discoveries about electricity,

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C) Because he made significant discoveries about electricity,

Step-by-step explanation:

There are serveral punctuation rules related to the use of commas.

In this case, when starting a sentence with a dependant clause, we use a comma after it.

Dependant clause in the sentence: "Because he made significant discoveries about electricity,"

The rest of the options use commas incorrectly (option A and B use a comma between a verb and an adjective, option D does not use comma after dependant clause)
