Question

Complete the following sentence.

You can use a _____ and a coordinating conjunction to join two independent clauses.
dash
semicolon
colon
comma

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS A COMMA

Answer 2

if you use as conjunction (such as "but", "and) then you need a comma too (this would be the correct answer).

you can also use a semicolon without a conjunction.

Or, you can use semicolon+conjunction+comma:

She is tall; however, she is not tall enough for this task.
