The correct answer is: [B]: "semicolon" . ___________________________________________________________ <u>Note</u>: ___________________________________________________________ Choice: [A]: "comma" — is INCORRECT. Note that placing a "comma" would result in an error known as "comma splice". ___________________________________________________________ Choice: [C]: "period" — is INCORRECT. Note that placing a "period" would be incorrect. Doing so would result in a new sentence that does not begin with a capital letter. ____________________________________________________________ Choice: [D]: "no punctuation is needed" —is INCORRECT. Note that if the statement were left alone, the statement would be a "<u>run-on sentence</u>". ___________________________________________________________ The correct answer is: [B]: "semicolon". If a new sentence could be formed; and if the ideas could connect; it is acceptable to place a "semicolon" between the "two potential statements to form one statement" ; and to NOT CAPITALIZE the first word of the "second [potential sentence]" —<u>unless</u> that "[second potential sentence] begins with a proper pronoun. ___________________________________________________________
