Explanation:

The word "however" is a conjunctive adverb. When it is used to connect two independent clauses, a semicolon should be placed before it and a comma after it. In the correct sentence, the semicolon is used properly to separate the two independent - clauses "The chorus sounded good" and "one soprano sang off - key" with "however" in between.

Answer:

None of the provided options are correct as they all have incorrect punctuation. The correct sentence should be: The chorus sounded good; however, one soprano sang off - key.
