Question

which is the best way to complete the text?
danielles writing is effective because it is _________ is able to communicate
complex ideas with few words.

economical; because
she

economical, she

economical; she

Explanation:

1. The first clause "Danielle's writing is effective because it is economical" is a complete independent thought. A semicolon correctly connects it to the second independent clause "she is able to communicate complex ideas with few words" to show their close relationship.
2. The first option is incorrect because it repeats "because", creating redundancy.
3. The second option uses a comma to join two independent clauses, which creates a comma splice (a grammatical error).

Answer:

economical; she
