Answer

Brief Explanations:

In English - Language Arts, when combining sentences, we need to use proper conjunctions or punctuation to show the relationship between ideas. Option A uses the conjunction "so" correctly to show a cause - and - effect relationship between the two events (becoming best friends and feeling more comfortable). Option B uses "also" which is not the most appropriate conjunction here. Option C is a run - on sentence without proper punctuation or conjunction.

Answer:

A. The two quickly became best friends, so Jane felt more comfortable at her new school.
