Question

Which of the following correctly uses a semicolon? Group of answer choices A) Dinner; is the most important part of my day. B) After a good dinner; I like to have something sweet. C) My favorite thing to eat; is dessert. D) I like ice cream; it is delicious.

Answer 1

Hey There!! ~ The answer to this is: The correct answer here is the last sentence: I like ice cream; it is delicious. A semicolon links two separate ideas, both with a subject and a predicate. Think of a semicolon as a means to connect two separate sentences with two separate subjects. Using this logic, only the last sentence correctly does this.                              Hope it Helped!~                                                                                                        $ItsNobody$~

D: Both ideas are complete, so that means that D is correct.
