What sentence makes sense?
Hi,
I have 3 options of a sentence that I am working on, however, I am not sure which one makes the most sense.
There isn't any big difference between them, only the words 'on, off, and of'. Any suggestions.
A) Or maybe he'd been feasting on dead animals, the rotting meat on the remaining bones.
B) Or maybe he'd been feasting on dead animals, the rotting meat off the remaining bones.
C) Or maybe he'd been feasting on dead animals, the rotting meat of the remaining bones.
Thanks
Ryan
