b.

c.
the girl in the photo is my cousin, i think you have met her before.

d.
the girl in the photo is my cousin; i think you have met her before.

The correct answer is C. The girl in the photo is my cousin, I think you have met her before.

Explanation:

In grammar, independent clauses can only be separated using a period, a semicolon or a comma followed by a conjunction, because of this using only a comma to separate to independent clauses is a grammatical mistake known as a comma splice. In option C "The girl in the photo is my cousin, I think you have met her before" there is comma splice because in this sentence there are two independent clauses or complete sentences "The girl in the photo is my cousin" and "I think you have met her before" and these have been separated only using a comma which occurs in comma splice.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
