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.
Okay, I saw another question like this before. I cant write an essay for you. But I can give you pointers and tips.
Answer:
The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.
1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.
2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.
Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.
3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.
4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.
A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)
Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))
