Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze each option for grammatical correctness:

• Option A: The period after "obvious" creates a fragment with "That she...", so it's incorrect.
• Option B: There's a run - on sentence as "neither of us spoke" and "it was obvious..." are two independent clauses without proper punctuation (like a semicolon or period and capitalization), so it's wrong.
• Option C: "Which" is used incorrectly here as it starts a non - restrictive clause but the structure is flawed, and it creates a confusing sentence.
• Option D: It has two independent clauses separated by a period (correct punctuation) and the second clause is a complete, grammatically correct sentence.

Answer:

D. For the rest of the day, neither of us spoke. It was obvious that she was no happier about the arrangement than I was.
