Question

Tap the option that uses the semicolon corrrectly.

• A. Vani went to the supermarket; after she left office.
• B. Don't go to the swimming pool alone; unless you know swimming.
• C. Charlie is sleeping now; because he was awake all night.
• D. The baby birds cannot fly yet; their wings are too weak.

Answer 1

The correct option is D The baby birds cannot fly yet; their wings are too weak.

We can use semicolons to join two independent clauses. Here 'The baby birds cannot fly yet' and 'their wings are weak' are both independent clauses. Also, if semicolon is used, we don't use any conjunction to join the sentence.
