Question

Rewrite the following sentence correctly using colons and/or semicolons.

Answer 1

Answer: Colon

Explanation:

As Hamlet so aptly advised: "To thine own self be true."

• A Colon is the punctuation mark that is used to direct you to the information. Colon is usually giving the silent impression of ''Which is'' ''As follows'' ''Thus'' ''Which are'' and more. In this case, we can see that colon is more appropriate than semicolon which presents the pause and it is usually used between two independent clauses.

A colon is the punctuation mark with two parallel dots and it can be easily recognized in a sentence.
