Question

Read the incorrect sentence.

-Marco is a loyal friend he is the only one who visited me when I was hospitalized for pneumonia.

How can the sentence be corrected using a semicolon?

A) Place a semicolon between me and when.
B) Add a semicolon after Marco.
C) Place a semicolon between friend and he.
D) Add a semicolon after for.

Answer 1

The answer here would be answer choice C. When reading this statement out loud, one can tell that there is a "gap" at the beginning between "he" and "is". It starts up an entirely new statement without any punctuation, so we can tell that this is the only place that our semicolon deserves to go.
