Question

the traffic is at a standstill because of a stopped car in the left lane and the result of this situation, is that no one on the freeway will reach his or her destination anytime soon. which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? a no change b lane, but the result of this situation c lane, and the result of this situation d lane and, the result of this situation

Explanation:

The original sentence has a comma splice (two independent clauses joined only by a comma), which is grammatically incorrect. Option B fixes this by using "but" (a coordinating conjunction) to properly connect the two clauses, creating a logical contrast between the cause of the traffic jam and its result. Options C and D do not resolve the comma splice issue, and Option A leaves the grammatical error unaddressed.

Answer:

B. lane, but the result of this situation
