Question

Select from the options to correctly punctuate the sentence and fill in the blank.

Everyone knows she is the best singer __ however, she refused to enter the contest.
 

, (comma)
 

: (colon)
 

; (semicolon)

Answer 1

The correct answer to your question Is C. (Semicolon).  The semicolon or semi-colon is a punctuation mark that separates major sentence elements. A semicolon can be used between two closely related independent clauses, provided they are not already joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Answer 2

A semicolon because it acts as a space. That space is like when we take a breathe between sentences because saying it fast and not taking that space creates the words to sound funny together.
