Question

Which word in the sentence, if any, should be followed by a semicolon? Our club is very active in the community we support many helpful programs. A. There is no error in semicolon usage. B. community C. active D. support

Answer 1

B. Community. A semicolon should be placed after community as this is a run-on sentence. The first sentence states "Our club is very active in the community", and the second says "we support many helpful programs." To fix the run-on a semicolon can be placed behind community and we would then be capitalized.
