Question

Correct the underlined part of the sentence. If there is no error choose "no change."

The charges against the organization are being investigated by a committee, it includes several senators.

• A. No change
• B. Committee; it including
• C. Committee, and it will include
• D. Committee, they include
• E. Committee that includes

Answer 1

The correct option is E Committee that includes

Here, a comma is used to connect two independent clauses and not a semi-colon or a conjunction. This can be rectified by changing the underlined portion into a non-restrictive clause using 'which' or 'that'. Option E uses 'that' and therefore is the correct answer.
