Question

which of the following sentences is punctuated using correct semicolon mechanics? greg said that we should start without him; however, we waited anyway greg said that we should start without him, however; we waited anyway greg said that we should start without him; however, we waited anyway greg said that we should start without him however; we waited anyway

Explanation:

A semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses, and when a conjunctive adverb like "however" is used to connect them, a comma follows the conjunctive adverb. In the correct sentence, "Greg said that we should start without him" and "we waited anyway" are independent clauses, and "however" is properly set - off with a comma after it and a semicolon before it.

Answer:

Greg said that we should start without him; however, we waited anyway
