<p>Here is the question:</p>

<p>Beginning photographers may choose from among several camera types, (there is one which is) best for their particular interests.</p>

<p>A. there is one which is
B. of which there is one
C. one of which is
D. and one is
E. one is</p>

<p>Correct answer: C</p>

<p>Ok, I understand that C "sounds the best" out of these answer choices. However, if you go with C isn't the sentence a run on because you are joining to independent clauses with a comma w/o a coordinate conjunction. With this logic the answer would be E; however, that is incorrect (obviously.)</p>

<p>I think the "which" serves as the coordinate conjunction.</p>

3

<p>It's an appositive phrase, not an independent clause. For example, "Bob, the milkman who stole my bicycle, was looking out for the cops." The italicized phrase serves to clarify something about Bob; whether or not it contains a verb is irrelevant and does not alter its scope. Similarly, the phrase "one of which best for their particular interests" modifies the noun preceding it, "types." It just happens to be at the end of the sentence rather than in the middle.</p>
