<p>On October 13, 1955, at the Six Gallery in San Francisco, Allen Ginsberg read his poem "Howl, being the inauguration of both" a new style in poetry and the Beat movement. </p>

<p>a) Howl, being the inauguration of both
b) Howl, both inaugurated
c) Howl, it was the inauguration of both
d) Howl, whose inauguration of both
e) Howl, thus inauguration both</p>

<p>I put a. but the correct answer supposedly is e. but i thought because thus is an adverb you have to use it with a semicolon or a period. e looks like a comma splice to me.</p>

<p>Uh is e thus inaugurating? If it is, then it is correct because it is a participle phrase, not a complete independent clause. The e answer you have now doesn’t make much sense so maybe you typed it incorrectly</p>
