Which of the following sentences would most likely be found in an email from a professor to her biology students at a college?

A. We want to go out for dinner, but we haven't decided where to eat yet.

B. I didn't get any constructive feedback on my paper during the peer review last week.

C. Research groups from the 10:30 a.m. Tuesday class should meet in the library this week.

D. Traffic on Highway 32 will be rerouted to Main Street during renovation of the 7th Street Bridge

Answer Explanation:

Option C is most likely to be found in an email from a professor to her biology students at a college because it contains specific information related to the class schedule and activities. It mentions the research groups from a specific class meeting time, and gives a location where they should meet, which suggests it is a message intended for students in that class. Options A, B, and D are more likely to be found in casual conversations or in other types of messages not directly related to the biology class.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

    A. They had to decide between adopting a cat or a dog at the rescue shelter.

    B. Whenever the boys played in the rain, they came home with muddy clothes.

    C. The student brought her laptop, textbooks, and parking pass.

    D. She wanted to go to the beach after she left work.

    Answer Explanation

    The sentence "She wanted to go to the beach after she left work."(Choice D) correctly uses a complex sentence structure. It consists of an independent clause "She wanted to go to the beach" and a dependent clause "after she left work."

    Choice B is wrong because the sentence contains two independent clauses: "Whenever the boys played in the rain" and "they came home with muddy clothes." These clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "and." While it is a sentence with multiple clauses, it does not contain a dependent clause.

    Note: To be a complex sentence, there should be an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Choice B only consists of two independent clauses without a dependent clause, making it a compound sentence instead of a complex sentence.
