Answer 1

Answer:

c) I submitted an application, and the employer asked me to come by for an interview.

Explanation:

It consists of two clauses that are simply connected by a comma and hence are considered separate sentences. Changing the comma to a period and capitalizing it to start a new sentence is one option for improving the sentence.
