Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point.
They love to eat out at the city's newest restaurants;

• A. restaurants,
• B. restaurants:
• C. restaurants.
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is C restaurants.

According to general rule, a period is used to mark the end of a complete sentence. Thus, the correct answer will be Option C, in place of the semi colon.

The remaining options are incorrect, as a comma is used to indicate a pause whereas, a semi colon is used to separate major sentence elements. A colon is used to indicate emphasis or introduce a list.
