Which choice correctly combines the two sentences below into a single sentence with a participial phrase? The artist is known for his intricate drawings of animals. They are often found in museums and galleries.
A
The artist is known for his intricate drawings of animals, often found in museums and galleries.
B
The artist is known for his intricate drawings of animals that are often found in museums and galleries.
C
The artist is known for his intricate drawings of animals, often found in museums and galleries.
D
The artist is known for his intricate drawings of animals, which are often found in museums and galleries.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The participial phrase "often found in museums and galleries" modifies the noun "drawings" and should be set off with commas. Choice A is incorrect because it creates a comma splice. Choice B is incorrect because the phrase "that are" creates a dependent clause, which is not grammatically correct. Choice D is incorrect because it uses a relative clause, which is not a participial phrase.
