Final answer:

The correctly punctuated sentence is: All those parents who urged their children to eat broccoli were right; the vegetable really is healthy.


Step-by-step explanation:

The correct punctuation in the sentence is:

All those parents who urged their children to eat broccoli were right; the vegetable really is healthy.

In this sentence, the comma is replaced by a semicolon to separate the main clause ('All those parents who urged their children to eat broccoli were right') from the subordinate clause ('the vegetable really is healthy'). This helps to clearly convey the two separate ideas within the sentence.
