MCQmedium

Which sentence correctly uses punctuation to connect two independent clauses?

Options

aI can't see Tim's car, there must have been an accident.

bI cant see Tim's car; there must have been an accident.

cI can't see Tim's car there must have been an accident.

dI can't see Tim's car; there must have been an accident.check_circle

Key Points

Option 'd' correctly uses an apostrophe for contraction 'can't' and a semicolon to connect two closely related independent clauses. A comma alone (option 'a') would create a comma splice. The provided activity question 4 also confirms this as the correct answer.
