Before public conventions started, how were nominees for the presidency selected?
in open meetings, by anyone who cared to participate
in closed meetings, by all adult white male citizens
in open meetings, by a small group of privileged citizens
in closed meetings, by a small group of privileged citizens

honeslty bro its the same thing

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.
