BThe committee members, who meet on Tuesdays decide the schedule, it changes often.

CThe committee members who meet on Tuesdays, decide the schedule; it changes often.

DThe committee members, who meet on Tuesdays, decide the schedule; it changes often.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Draft: "The coach explained the strategy; when the whistle blows pass quickly; and move into space." Which option best corrects the punctuation and keeps the commands clear?

AThe coach explained the strategy; when the whistle blows pass quickly and move into space.

CThe coach explained the strategy: when the whistle blows, pass quickly and move into space.

DThe coach explained the strategy: when the whistle blows pass quickly; and move into space.
