A is a run-on sentence, therefore it is incorrect.
B (leave as is) in incorrect because the original sentence combines independent and dependent clauses with a semicolon; semicolons are used to combine independent clauses.
C is incorrect for the same reason B is incorrect (the first clause in dependent).
D is the correct answer, as it properly uses commas to combine the clauses.
Hope this helps.
The correct answer is D. Use it to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.
Explanation:
In internet search, the word truncation, also called stemming refers to a search technique in which only the section of a term is written, for example, instead of including the term "create" you only include the first letters of it or the root word which is "creat" or instead of including the term "spacecraft" you include only "space". This is mainly used to broaden the results in a search, because by including only part of a term results will include all possible forms or ending of the term, this means in the case of "creat" results would include the words creation, creative, creat, creature, etc and in the case of "space" this would include results related to space, spacer, spaceship and not only spacecraft. Therefore, the reason for using truncation is mainly to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.
The author's strongest support for their statement is the reference to a major claim (Option B). In it, the author alludes to the strongest and clearest declaration that agrees with their statement by quoting the authors of Suburban Nation. This is not an allusion because of the direct nature of this reference (allusion = indirect reference). There is no repetition observed in this paragraph, and the author doesn't comment on what the opposing party believes. Therefore, by logic and by elimination, we can conclude that this is an example of a reference to a major claim.
They needed entertainment/ a game to play.
