Question

Please help me with this ASAP! This is my 2nd time posting this and no one is answering, so I really need the correct answer for this question.

ALSO PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME A RANDOM GIBBERISH ANSWER OR ELSE I WILL REPORT YOU.

Read the sentence from paragraph 3:

Or, rather, it was almost empty; there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf in the back.

What is the most effective way to combine these clauses?


A. Or, rather, it was almost empty since there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf in the back.

B. It was almost empty, so there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf in the back.

C. Or rather, there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf in the back although it was almost empty.

Answer 1

there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf in the back, it was almost empty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option C because it combines the clauses effectively by using parallelism to balance the clauses in the sentence.

Here, the reason is first given, before the state of the shelf is stated.

I hope this helps you :)
