<span>In a sentence where there are two separate independent clauses, the comma should be placed before the conjunction. The correct answer is therefore c) before the conjunction. There are some instances where the comma will not be needed, for example where both independent clauses are short or mean similar things. However, c) is the correct answer for this question. Hope this helps!</span>

The correct answer is C. before the conjunction.


If there is a conjunction between two independent clauses, then the comma will be placed in front of it. For example: <em>We had a lot of fun at the beach, but I feel tired now. </em>

As you can see, the comma is located in front of the conjunction <em>but. </em>Simply placing a comma between the sentences (without a conjunction) creates a run-on sentence, and that is grammatically incorrect.

Answer: Turner's age is not allowing him to fully understand his father's concerns over the racial conflict

Explanation:

Even though the reader is able to see how important Lizzie’s friendship is to Turner, the factor that is most likely affecting Turner’s perspective in this excerpt is that Turner's age is not allowing him to fully understand his father's concerns over the racial conflict.

This can be seen in the excerpt as Reverend Buckminster sighed and was worried about people seeing that his son was going out to visit a Negro girl on Malaga Island.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
