Question

michael prince went up to the podium with his speech i wasnt prepared for the flood of emotion. which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? a no change b speech, which c speech that d speech.

Explanation:

The original sentence has a run - on error as it connects two independent clauses ("Michael Prince went up to the podium with his speech" and "I wasn't prepared for the flood of emotion") without proper punctuation or a conjunction. Option D ("speech.") turns the two independent clauses into two separate, grammatically correct sentences. Option A keeps the run - on. Option B ("speech, which") would require a verb after "which" to form a correct relative clause, and as it is, it's incomplete. Option C ("speech that") would also need a verb after "that" to form a correct relative clause and is incomplete in the given context.

Answer:

D. speech.
