Question: 1 / 400

What is the appropriate revision for "Chief Harrigan was invited to our safety meeting, he can demonstrate the correct use of fire extinguishers."?

Chief Harrigan was invited to our safety meeting, he can demonstrate the correct use of fire extinguishers.

Chief Harrigan was invited to our safety meeting, therefore, he can demonstrate the correct use of fire extinguishers.

Chief Harrigan was invited to our safety meeting; therefore to demonstrate the correct use of fire extinguishers.

Chief Harrigan was invited to our safety meeting so that he can demonstrate the correct use of fire extinguishers.

In the original sentence, there is a lack of coherence between the two clauses, making it a run-on sentence. The correct answer, option D, addresses this issue by introducing a clear cause-and-effect relationship between Chief Harrigan being invited to the safety meeting and the purpose of his attendance, which is to demonstrate the correct use of fire extinguishers. By using "so that," the revised sentence clarifies the reason for Chief Harrigan's presence at the meeting. This choice effectively connects the two clauses and improves the overall flow and logic of the sentence.
