Question

Is the semicolon used correctly in this sentence?

Get out of; the dry cleaning business.
O yes
O no

Answer 1

No, it is not.

There is no need to add a semicolon, rather it should be written as "Get out of the dry cleaning business".

Semicolons are used to join two related independent clauses in place of a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
