Question

Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting. But other people find it depressing. What is the BEST way to combine the two sentences? A. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting but, other people find it depressing. B. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting; but other people find it depressing. C. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting; But other people find it depressing. D. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting, but other people find it depressing.

Answer 1

The answer would be:
**D. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting, but other people find it depressing. **

Why?
A is incorrect because the comma is *before* "but." That is grammatically incorrect.

B is incorrect because one can't have a semicolon if they're aren't two *complete* sentences.

C is incorrect because "But other people find it depressing" is not a complete sentence capital letter or not.
