Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point.
They walk the dog in the evening;

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D evening.

According to general rule, a period is used to mark the end of a complete sentence. Thus, the correct answer will be Option D, 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.
