Based off the process of elimination the answer is C.
A: Francis had a lot on his mind that afternoon, he was concerned about his mother's illness and about losing his job.
After the word Afternoon, there should be a semi-colon rather than a comma.
B: The packing instructions asked each camper to bring the following items, a flashlight, a sleeping bag, sunscreen, and a book for
Independent reading.
After the word items, there should be a colon rather than a comma.
D: The king ordered that all his subjects should show their allegiance through common forms of attire: yet many people continue to wear the traditional hats of their various regions.
After the word attire, there is a colon, when there should be a comma.
Therefore, the answer is C
Sentence C is the only sentence that uses punctuation correctly. The other sentences all contain punctuation mistakes, such as comma splices in A and B, and an improper use of a colon in D.
The question asks us to identify which sentence is using correct punctuation. The correct answer is C. In time, of course, all issues get resolved, but not necessarily in the way you would like.
Let's analyze each sentence:
A and B have comma splices, which is a grammatical mistake where two independent clauses are connected with a comma rather than a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction.
D uses a colon improperly. A colon should be followed by an explanation, elaboration, or specification of the previous clause, not an independent clause.
Therefore, C is the only sentence that follows the correct use of punctuation. It uses the comma correctly to separate the introductory phrase, to set off the parenthetical expression 'of course', and to connect two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction 'but'

(Which is correct grammar)
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
What does the statue in “Ozymandias” symbolize?
the erosion of a powerful civilization
the country of Egypt
an ancient ruler
