LIMITED TIME, HELP!!!!!!

How would you fix the following run-on sentence:

It was a beautiful day, there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Select one:

Remove the comma:
It was a beautiful day there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Switch the clauses around:
There wasn't a cloud in the sky, it was a beautiful day.

Change the comma to a period:
It was a beautiful day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Add another comma:
It was a beautiful day, there wasn't, a cloud in the sky.

Answer:

Change the comma to a period.

Step-by-step explanation:

"It was a beautiful day, there wasn't a cloud in the sky." Has two complete sentences mashed together with a comma. The correct way to add two complete sentences is with a coordinating conjunction. A coordinating conjunction uses a comma followed by a conjunction like and, or, or but. This sentence has a comma but NO conjunction. It also doesn't have a semicolon, the other way you can add to complete sentences together.

Thus, it must be split into two with a period. This is the last answer, "It was a beautiful day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky."

I hope this helps you!
