Problem

I finished reading the book last night can’t wait to discuss it with my book club next week.

2

Clue

The second part of the sentence, "can’t wait to discuss it," is a fragment without a subject. To fix this, you must either add a subject or combine it with the first part using a conjunction.

3

Hint

Look for two complete thoughts (independent clauses) in the sentence. They need to be either separated by a period or joined with a comma and a conjunction.

Choices

5

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect as it creates a run-on sentence. The sentence contains two complete ideas ("I finished reading the book last night" and "can’t wait to discuss it with my book club next week") that are not properly separated.

Wrong No change

6

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect because the second part of the sentence, "can’t wait to discuss it," is a fragment. It is missing a subject and cannot stand as a complete sentence on its own.

Wrong night. can’t

7

Choice-C

Choice C is correct. It uses a coordinating conjunction ("and") to properly join the two independent clauses, creating a grammatically correct compound sentence. This shows a proper way of combining two complete thoughts.

Correct night and can’t

8

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. A semicolon is used to connect two closely related independent clauses. The second clause here ("can’t wait to discuss it…​") is a dependent clause that cannot stand on its own, so a semicolon is not the proper punctuation.

Wrong night ; can’t
