Actually, the correct answer is A.
To determine the best way to rewrite the sentence, let's break it down. The original sentence is:
"Before Sam can go out with his friends, he needs to completely clean his dirty cluttered room."
The sentence has a few key elements:
1. The action Sam needs to take ("completely clean his dirty cluttered room").
2. The condition or requirement for taking that action, which is that Sam wants to go out with his friends ("Before Sam can go out with his friends").
When rewriting the sentence, it's important to maintain clarity and proper punctuation. Options B and D both have punctuation errors, as they use commas in incorrect places. Option C has a comma between "clean" and "his", which is unnecessary.
Therefore, the best way to rewrite the sentence is option A:
"Before Sam can go out with his friends, he needs to completely clean his dirty, cluttered room."
