Choose whether to use a colon or a semicolon in this sentence!

English
1 answer:
____ [38]4 years ago
3 0

This is a tricky question, especially because we are not offered a context for the sentences. But, in my interpretation, the best option would be a colon.

A semicolon connects independent sentences - it has other uses, this is just one of them. That means that, in this case, both sentences should present a complete meaning in themselves. One should not need the other to make sense. However, the first sentence, on its own, is a bit lacking, especially because we do not have an object completing the verb "beat" at the end.

A colon introduces a sentence that is explaining, adding meaning, to the one before it. That seems to be what happens in this case. Why would no lunch beat? Because we had the best pizza in the whole world. The meaning of the first sentence is now complete.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Foreshadowing points to an upcoming event in the story. Shakespeare used the literarcy technique in many of his plays. The following lines can be used as evidence:

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return.

Simple, plain Clarence! I do love thee so,

That I will shortly send thy soul to heaven,

If heaven will take the present at our hands.

But who comes here? the new-deliver'd Hastings?

The lines show that Richard is going to kill Clarence. While he was thinking about it, Hastings enters the room. Shakespeare's usage of foreshadowing comes to light at this point that there is going to be something between Richard and Clarence.

Yuliya22 [10]
Even though you didn't give us the fragment with the comma slice, it isn't really necessary here as we can answer just based on these 4 options here. All options apart from the second one are correct - only the second option doesn't fix the mistake of the comma splice, whereas the other options do but connecting the sentences properly.
