Question

which version of this sentence uses punctuation correctly?
○ i like trying new activities therefore; im looking forward to learning to snowboard.
○ i like trying new activities; therefore, im looking forward to learning to snowboard.
○ i like trying new activities, therefore; im looking forward to learning to snowboard.
○ i like trying new activities; therefore im looking forward to learning to snowboard.

Explanation:

When using a conjunctive adverb like "therefore" to connect two independent clauses, the correct punctuation is a semicolon before the adverb and a comma after it. The first option incorrectly uses a semicolon after "therefore"; the second has a typo and wrong punctuation; the fourth uses a semicolon before "therefore" but no comma after it. Only the third option follows the rule: semicolon before "therefore", comma after it, connecting two complete independent clauses properly.

Answer:

I like trying new activities; therefore, I'm looking forward to learning to snowboard.
