Answer:

This sentence can be fixed by adding the coordinating conjunction "but".

Explanation:

A coordinating conjunction is a conjunction that joins two similar constructions. In this case, it brings together two clauses (my teacher said my assignment was better/ I still got a B). The coordinating conjunction <em>but</em> is used to introduce a phrase or clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned. You can infer that the speaker expected a higher mark because the teacher told him/her that his/her assignment was better.
