<p>I got the answer with the semicolon.</p>
<p>Choice E with semicolon</p>
<p>A with correct, let me explain why.</p>
<p>The appositive was in the beginning of the sentence, so that’s why there was no comma there. </p>
<p>ex: A dark wedge, the eagle hurtled earthward at nearly 200 miles per hour</p>
<p>A hot-tempered tennis player, Robbie charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man’s skull with a racket.</p>
<p>Also sat doesn’t care about comma rules, as long as it is grammatically correct in other ways. I have never seen a question that just tested comma rules</p>
<p>Same thing with the ACT. If that kind of sentence above appeared on the ACT, it would be correct. </p>
<p>The original sentence is grammatically correct. Think of the first clause as extraneous information. If you took it out it wouldn’t make the sentence grammatically incorrect. And by itself, it would be incorrect because it would be a sentence fragment? or run on sentence.</p>
