Question

Read the sentence.

The illustrator drew inspiration for his comic strip from children, including his own from his childhood memories; and from his uncle’s stories.


After which word should a semicolon be placed?


a) strip

b) own

c) inspiration

Answer 1

b) own
The semicolon should be placed after "own" because it refers to one particular sub topic in the list of three sub topics. It refers to his own children. The second item is about his own childhood memories; and the third is about his uncle's stories.
