Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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 therefore 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).

Answer 2

I believe the answer is A. We plan to return some day to Brazil; therefore, we want we want to visit Rio, Sao Paulo, And Manaus.
