Question

She made everyday chores meaningful, when she set to work, hard and easy tasks alike were undertaken as acts of love.

Which option provides the correct punctuation for the sentence?
1) NO CHANGE
2) meaningful. When she set to work
3) meaningful and when she set to work
4) meaningful. When she set to work,

Answer 1

The correct punctuation for the sentence is option 2, which separates the independent clauses with a period.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct punctuation for the sentence "She made everyday chores meaningful, when she set to work, hard and easy tasks alike were undertaken as acts of love" is option 2: "meaningful. When she set to work". This is because the second part of the sentence is an independent clause which should be preceded by a period or a semicolon when detached from another independent clause.

Option 1 is incorrect because the comma creates a comma splice. Option 3 is incorrect as it lacks a conjunction and does not address the comma splice. Option 4 repeats the error of option 1 and adds an unnecessary comma at the end.
