Question: 615
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. mills' grounds—it was still
- C. mill's grounds, it was still
- D. mill's grounds; it was still
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
(D) The mill is singular, and it possesses the grounds. Also, the two complete sentences need clear separation, which the semicolon, but not a comma, can provide. Choice (A) provides no possession, choice (B) is correct for plural mills, and choice (C) causes a comma splice.
