Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

"I want to go to the movies, but I also want to go to dinner."

This sentence is grammatically correct and has the proper punctuation. Answers B and C make use of a semicolon ";", and in this case that would be incorrect because the clause (sentence) that follows a semicolon must be independent, the phrase must use a conjunction to make sense.

Please let me know if you need any more help. Thanks.
