- 00:21
one effective means of reducing stress and see they give
- 00:25
us the same thing They're so Now we've got to
- 00:26
kind of change it here So what are we thinking
- 00:29
I don't see a comma there or a period just
- 00:31
three dot thing is well the key to this question
- 00:34
is punctuation since the underlying portion is an independent claws
- 00:39
with no comma or semi colon after it we can
- 00:41
follow it up with another independent clause that would require
- 00:44
a semicolon right to independent clauses you know get separated
- 00:48
by a semi colon there and we also can't followed
- 00:51
up with but and plus an independent claws and that
- 00:54
would require a come if we did so adding and
- 00:57
promoting doesn't require any additional punctuation So the right answer

here is d we just means of reducing stress and
- 01:06
promoting and you have got to get it right Well
- 01:08
if we want a punctuation free life we can't choose
- 01:11
a coordinating conjunction like in a and see there And
- 01:14
connecting to independent clauses with nothing at all creates a
- 01:17
nasty run in with a run on sentence like inbee
- 01:20
So the answer is d and promoting and we're shmoop
