Question

Which word in the sentence, if any, should be followed by a semicolon?

This restaurant's salad bar is very good the ingredients are always fresh.

A.ingredients

B.There is no error in semicolon usage.

C.bar

D.good

Answer 1

The word in the sentence that should be followed by a semicolon is d. good. Semicolons are used in sentences to combine or join together two distinct sentences or ideas. Since the example provided contains two ideas: the restaurant's salad bar is very good and the ingredient are always fresh, the two must be separated by a semicolon.
