Answer 2

Answer:

Option b. The following is the best way to rewrite the sentences:

In the late 1820s, explorers discovered gold in the northern and central regions of Georgia. With thoughts of easy money, many European settlers migrated to these regions.

Explanation:

The first comma after 1820s is used to separate the dependent clause that initiated the sentence with the rest of it. Then a full stop is used as the sentence had made a full concept that does not need further adding, instead it is time to start a new sentence that will further explain what happened after explorers discovered gold in Georgia. In this second sentence, a comma is again used to separate the two clauses that constitute the sentence.
