Omar Ahmed I go for "c". Is "a" correct, too? Technically, both "a" and "c" are correct; however, "a" says that while my sister was doing my homework, she was at the same time helping my mother.
- Omar Ahmed I go for "c".
- Is "a" correct, too?
- Technically, both "a" and "c" are correct; however, "a" says that while my sister was doing my homework, she was at the same time helping my mother.
- So in the case of "a", the grammar is OK, but the meaning is implausible.
