Question

Which sentence needs a semicolon added to be correct?

Answer 1

The correct answer here is A. The sentence that needs a semicolon added to be correct is A. Water is not everywhere; it's miles away. Semicolons are used mainly to link two independent clauses that both communicate the same idea, such as in the above sentence where both parts of the sentence indicate that water is not always readily available but there was previously no linking punctuation or conjunction.
