Answer: A.
Explanation:
Semicolons (;) are used to join two independent clauses that are related.
”People need to be more careful when they drive” can stand on its own as a sentence.
”There are too many accidents” can stand on its own as a sentence too.
These two are individual clauses, so they can be joined together with a semicolon:
People need to be more careful when they drive; there are too many accidents.
A is correct.
Let’s look at B now.
commas (,) are used to separate clauses when they are joined by the words “for”, “and”, “but”, “or”, “yet”, and “so”. In the sentence B, none of these words are used. So B is not correct.
Let’s look at C.
That’s totally incorrect. Again, commas are used for the purpose explained above. So C. Is not correct.
Let’s look at D.
“People need to be more careful when they drive; because there are so many accidents” is not correct. Remember that semicolons are used to combine two INDEPENDENT clauses. Independent clauses are clauses that can stand on their own as an individual sentence.
“People need to be more careful when they drive” can stand on its own as a sentence.
“Because there are so many sentences” canot stand on its own as a sentence.
So because only one of the clauses is independent, the semicolon cannot be used. So D. Is wrong.
Your answer would be A.
