Question

question 1 of 5
we had a long history together, it wasnt enough to keep us from parting ways.
which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable?
a no change
b together, but
c together but,
d together, however

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The original sentence is a comma splice (two independent clauses joined only by a comma), which is grammatically incorrect. Option B fixes this by using the coordinating conjunction "but" after the comma to properly connect the two contrasting independent clauses. Option C places the comma incorrectly after "but", which is ungrammatical. Option D uses "however", which requires a semicolon before it or a period after the first clause to be correct, so it does not fix the comma splice properly.

Answer:

B. together, but
