How are the ideas in the following two sentences tied together? the best time i had all summer was the night of sherry's party. the worst was the next day.
a. no connection
b. word pointers
c. sentences closely connected in meaning
d. a connective

I choose letter C for this. The ideas in the two sentences are tied together because they are closely connected by their meaning, in a sense that they are in contrast with each other. The first sentence speaks of the best time and the second sentence is its exact opposite which is the worst time.

The correct answer is C. sentences closely connected in meaning. You don't have to use any connections, word pointers, or connectives for these two sentences, because their meanings are very similar. It is obvious how these sentences are connected - the best time she had was at Sherry's party, and the worst (time she had) was the next day. The part that I wrote in the brackets doesn't need to be repeated because the meaning is still obvious without the repetition.

Gwould be the correct answer
