D.

Answer 1

The correct sentence is B, as it clearly conveys the situation and the resulting poor impression due to arriving late and being inappropriately dressed for a job interview.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence among the options provided is:
B. She arrived at the job interview a half hour late and dressed in​ well-worn, shabby clothes. This did not make a good impression.
This sentence appropriately uses a complete sentence to describe the situation, followed by a separate sentence explaining the consequence of her actions. This construction maintains clear and correct grammar, with proper use of punctuation. The clarity and structure of the statement convey the negative impression created by lack of preparation, arriving late, messy appearance, conveying a lack of confidence, and potentially a negative attitude and/or a lack of enthusiasm. The use of the word 'this' correctly refers to the situation described in the previous sentence.

Answer 2

I believe the correct sentence is A.
