Answer:

C is correct i believe. its not A because that could not be a sentance byitself, not b because im sure you know why and d might be but then the teacher would be trying to explain to you something other then the rules of punctuation
The correct answer is option 3: "Tonight, Shea read a short story, practiced soccer, and chatted with Betsy". Remember that whenever you need to use parallel structures, you have to use <u>the same tense or word pattern</u>. In option 3, you have three verbs. The three of them are in the past simple tense. Option 1, "Last evening, Shea read "The Necklace", study her physics, and to buy her prom dress" is not grammatically correct. That sentence presents different tenses and the verbs are not well conjugated. Therefore, It is not written in proper parallel structure. Option 2, "Yesterday, Shea bought her dress, had completed her calculus problems, and was talking to Bobby" is not grammatically correct either. Although the sentence is stated in the past, the order of the events is not clear and the verbs do not belong to exactly the same tense. To conclude, option 3 is the only sentence written in proper parallel structure.

There are four types of sentences. I'll list them below.
Interrogative sentences are questions: statements that end in a question mark (?). "What will they think of next?" is an interrogative sentence, as you can see from the question mark, so we can rule this one out.
Exclamatory sentences are statements that end in an exclamation point (!). "I simply adore cheese!" is one, because of its exclamation point, so this one isn't declarative either.
Now, things get a little trickier. There are two types of sentences that end in a period (.): imperative and declarative sentences.
Imperative sentences are commands--telling someone to do something. Which is imperative? "Please tidy your room." "We live in an amazing time." Obviously, "Please tidy your room" is an order, and so is imperative.
The only sentence left is "We live in an amazing time." This has to be a declarative sentence, which is simply a statement that ends in a period. This is a statement, and it ends in a period, so this sentence is a declarative sentence.
Answer: We live in an amazing time.
