AnonymousI thought A was the correct answer but answer key says C is correct. I need an explanation here.Whenever we meet, we stop talking on our cell phones so we can talk to each other. This is OK.
But you must have "on our cell phones" because if you just stop talking, you can't exchange greetings or any gossip with the other perso
