Question

Which sentence demonstrates correct use of the semicolon?

Answer 1

Answer;

Sara suddenly became very ill; therefore,she went to see her doctor.

Explanation;

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought.

When used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank.

You cannot use a semicolon to list off objects, such as letter a and b.

You also can't use one in the middle of a sentence, like the third sentence.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be: "Sara suddenly became very ill; therefore, she went to see her doctor."
