Answer:
B. Eddie left his soccer practice early so that he could make his tutoring appointment.
Explanation:
A clause can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate (finite verb).
In English language, there are two (2) main types of clause used in forming a sentence and these are;
I. A dependent clause: it can be defined as a type of clause that is inserted into another clause to make meaning or express a complete thought.
II. An independent clause: it can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate)
In this scenario, "Eddie left his soccer practice early" is an independent clause while "so that he could make his tutoring appointment" is a dependent clause.
Hence, the best way to combine the information in the two clauses given above is to remove the punctuation mark (period) after "early" and then combine both the dependent clause and independent clause with a lowercase phrase "so that."
In conclusion, when an independent clause is followed by a dependent clause, no comma is required to separate them.
