Question
- which sentence correctly uses a semicolon? the cake is delicious, its made with fresh strawberries. the cake is delicious, and its made with fresh strawberries. the cake is delicious its, made with fresh strawberries. the cake, is delicious its made with fresh strawberries.
A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. In the correct option, the two parts "The cake is delicious" and "it's made with fresh strawberries" are independent clauses. The first option has a comma - splice error (using a comma instead of a stronger punctuation like a semicolon or a conjunction to join independent clauses). The second option incorrectly uses a semicolon with the coordinating conjunction "and" (should be a comma with "and"). The third and fourth options have incorrect punctuation placement.
