Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

• A. gregarious;
• B. gregarious -
• C. gregarious:
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is A gregarious;

The given sentence consists of two independent clauses. According to general rule, a semi colon is used between two independent clauses when the coordinating conjunction is omitted. Thus, the correct answer should be Option A.

A comma is used before a coordinating conjunction that joins two independent clauses.

A dash is used to set apart clauses in a sentence that also has a conjunction.

A colon is used between independent clauses only when the second illustrates or explains the first.
