Cevap

The correct option is the one that connects the two independent clauses using a comma followed by the coordinating conjunction 'so'.
The correct answer properly links the two independent clauses using a comma followed by the coordinating conjunction 'so', which correctly establishes the cause-and-effect relationship between Mary Anderson's desire for a safer solution and her action of sketching a design.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relationship between the clauses in the sentence.
The sentence contains two independent clauses: 'She wanted to find a safer solution' and 'she sketched a design for a manual wiper blade.'
Determining whether the clauses are independent or dependent is necessary to choose the correct punctuation and conjunctions.
2
Evaluate how the clauses are joined.
Joining two independent clauses with a comma alone creates a comma splice. A coordinating conjunction like 'so' preceded by a comma is required to connect them grammatically.
Correct coordination is necessary to ensure the sentence is grammatically complete and structurally sound.
