Question: 1 / 400

What should be done to ensure that connected clauses are grammatically correct?

Use a comma to separate the clauses

Add a period between the clauses

Use a colon to separate the clauses

Connect the clauses with a semicolon

By connecting clauses with a semicolon, we indicate that there is a close relationship between them, which helps to maintain the coherence of the sentence. Using a comma may create a run-on sentence, while using a period would create two separate sentences, potentially disrupting the flow. Using a colon is not always grammatically correct for all types of clauses. Therefore, using a semicolon is the most effective way to ensure that connected clauses are grammatically correct.
