Answer : The option that uses a correct subordinate conjunction to join the sentences together is After I finish my homework, I go to the park.
Explanation:

This word usually indicates the relationship between both clauses: time, place, cause and effect, etc. Some of the most frequently used subordinating conjunctions are: after, although, as, because, since, unless, until, when, while. In this case, the conjunction used is after, the independent clause is I go to the park, and the dependent clause is After I finish my homework.
Answer:
B). The team’s report wasn’t due until next Friday, but it was turned in early.
C). Jack wasn’t hired in December ’07; he was hired in January ’08.
Explanation:
The apostrophe (') is demonstrated as the punctuation mark that is either employed to show the contraction or omission of numbers or letters or to reflect the possession.
As per the question, options B and C employ the apostrophe correctly as they correctly show the possession of the report of the team as 'team's report' and contraction of auxiliary verb 'was not' as 'wasn't'(omission of the letter 'o'). The first option is incorrect as it wrongly displays the use of possession(for words ending with letter 's') and the last option must include a contraction('it's) instead of possession. Thus, <u>options B and C</u> are the correct answers.

Subject and Verb do not agree. Sequoia and Charles plan to exercise together.
The subject of this sentence is a compound subject (Sequoia and Charles). A compound subject is a plural subject because it has more than one. The verb "plans" agrees with a singular subject because it ends with /s/. In order to make the subject and verb agree, the /s/ at the end of "plans" needs to be eliminated. The revised sentence should be "Sequoia and Charles plan to exercise together."
