The answer is A. Mercedes threw Andrea, Mercedes' best friend, a surprise party last night. This choice uses an appositive ("Andrea, Mercedes' best friend,") to combine the two sentences. An appositive is a phrase separated from the rest of the sentence by commas that describes something (in this case Andrea).
Choices B and C are incorrect because the uses of the words "but" and "when" to combine the sentences do not make logical sense. Choice D is incorrect because it uses a comma to combine the sentences without a conjunction, creating a run-on sentence.
Hope this helps!
Hi, I'd sat that the correct answer is B. A cannot be correct, because the simple subject would be "dinosaurs", whereas the complete subject is "large and small dinosaurs", they don't match. C is a similar case - simple subject is "detectives", whereas the complete subject would be "detectives Homer Fry and Janine Small:. In D - simple subject is "crocodiles", whereas the complete subject is "crocodiles, quiet as logs". That leaves us with only one solution - "Cory" is both a simple and a complete subject.
