B. Add a comma after "morning".

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify any necessary changes in sentence 15. The sentence is: "When I woke up in the morning the ship was not moving at all."<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The sentence is a compound sentence, which means it contains two independent clauses. The first clause is "When I woke up in the morning" and the second clause is "the ship was not moving at all."<br /><br />## Step 3<br />In English grammar, when two independent clauses are connected by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), a comma is typically used before the conjunction. However, in this case, the coordinating conjunction is not present.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The sentence is missing a comma after "morning" to separate the two independent clauses. This is a common mistake in English grammar, where a comma is omitted between two independent clauses.
