all these always a different style your important movement who
- 00:29
accurately represent and we're done All right What change needs
- 00:32
to be made to sentence fourteen and hear the potential
- 00:35
answers Okay well let's begin by taking another peek its
- 00:40
sense Fourteen rush chair Monet was an impressionist who explored
- 00:44
his subjects through color and all of his works had
- 00:48
a soft watery look Oh yeah something looks a little
- 00:51
off We can begin by eliminating d like a person
- 00:55
stuck in a dead end job This sense needs to
- 00:56
change an option A isn't the way to fix things

- 01:34
two independent clauses that air improperly smushed together First we
- 01:38
have Monet was an impressionist to explored his subject through
- 01:42
color which is one independent Klaus then we have all
- 01:46
of his works had a soft watery look Well in
- 01:49
this case at least wasn't completely wrong She was right
- 01:51
to use the conjunction and here but to correct the
- 01:55
run on She also needs to put a comma before 00:01:57.879 --> [endTime] the conjunction By being around you must be exhausted
