Question

Think what you like I do not care'. This is wrong because:

1. We must use a comma to separate these two clauses
2. We must use a full stop to separate these two sentences
3. We must use a full stop at the end of this sentence
4. We must use an exclamation mark at the end of this sentence

Answer 1

This is wrong because we must use a full stop to separate these two sentences. Option 2 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct punctuation in the given sentence would be, "Think what you like; I do not care." The conjunction "but" is implied, and a semicolon or a full stop is appropriate to separate two independent clauses. While using a comma to connect two independent clauses is a common error known as a comma splice, using an exclamation mark would not be suitable in this context because the tone is more declarative than exclamatory. Therefore, the correct choice is to use a full stop, indicating a clear separation between the two statements.

Option 2 is the answer.
