Question

Check the punctuation of the following sentence.

I like apples; however, I do not like bananas.

A. correct

B. incorrect

Answer 1

B.Incorrect

Explanation:It should have been Ilike apples. However,I don't like bananas.

Answer 2

A. Correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sentence is-

I like apples; however, I do not like bananas.

Now, considering the sentence, there are two independent clauses that are joined by the conjunctive adverb "however". This "however" is not only used to present a contrast in the statements but also join them together to make a complete flow of though. It provides a passage of transition for the two sentences.

Also, whenever any conjunctive adverb is used in a sentence, there should be a semicolon just before the conjunctive adverb.

Thus, the punctuation of the given sentence is correct.
