Which sentence below is properly punctuated? a. We plan to return some day to Brazil; therefore, we want to visit Rio, Sao Paulo
, and Manaus. b. We plan to return some day to Brazil: therefore, we want to visit Rio, Sao Paulo, and Manaus. c. We plan to return some day to Brazil; therefore, we want to visit Rio; Sao Paulo; and Manaus
The sentence above that is properly punctuated is A.
Explanation:
A is correctly punctuated because of the use of the semicolon. You should use a semicolon before a subordinating conjunction such as <em>therefore</em> when it introduces a complete sentence. What is more, it is also convenient to use a comma after such words and terms. Then, the sentence also illustrates the use of the comma to name each of the items on a list: Rio, Sao Paulo and Manaus (different cities in Brazil).
