It would be a. "We the people of the United States ... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

We can rule out c immediately, because it has dependent clauses standing on its own. B. can also be ruled out, because the clause in-between the hyphen does not read correctly. A. is correct grammatically, but D. is also grammatically correct and it explains it in a quick and understandable way.

How can businesses adapt to the shortage? Should they charge something for ketchup packets? Why or why not?
Elis [28]
If they are losing money they should charge for ketchup packages but charge maybe $0.50 or so but if they are not losing money they should not charge because they are most likely overcharging the food.
