long gone We fix that before struggling to maintain their
existence Record stores can't compete with digital streaming services Yeah
we fix that one too Thank you People nowadays no
longer need to store their music They can listen to
whatever they choose as long as they have access to
the internet while few you cd or vinyl records storage
cases anymore There's something rotten in denmark here in denmark
being a paragraph three There's the comma effectively separates the
two clauses of the sentence The sentence is correct as
is who actually not run not rotten at all It
works And yes we love it When that happens they
were just pushing on you Semicolons and periods separate thoughts
that can each stand alone you know on their own
But the second part of this particular sense begins with
while which is a dependent clause and definitely can't stand
on its own unless it has a hefty pair of
training wheels like it either Yeah finally joining the two
parts of the sentence with a comma and without any
connector word creates a comma slice and a grammatical error
And sometimes when you take these questions you should actually
go through the wrong ones even if it looks okay
to you and that there's no change stick in these
others like they'll just sound bad like the idea that
people nowadays bubble whatever they choose as long as they
have access to music While few years alright we'll access
the music give access music through the internet right That's
the big failing on this one It's should be internet
not music and note that in each of these they
just have music there So that's all wrong Answer is
a no change Everyone could just go chill and listen 00:02:00.061 --> [endTime] to some led zep Yeah
