Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A is the correct choice because it uses the subordinating conjunction "whenever" to correctly show the relationship between Arnold telling jokes and getting everyone's attention. It is also correctly punctuated with a comma after "jokes" to separate the dependent clause from the main clause. B is incorrect because it is missing the necessary comma. C is incorrect because it incorrectly places the dependent clause after the main clause without a comma.
