Which choice best revises the sentence so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The original sentence contains a comma splice, which is an error in Standard English. The sentence should be revised to combine the two independent clauses into a single sentence. Choice B is the best revision because it uses a comma after the introductory phrase to create a complete sentence. Choices A and C are incorrect because they create comma splices. Choice D is incorrect because it creates a run-on sentence.
