Answer :

The correct answer is: A. Semicolon (;) Explanation: 1. A semicolon (;) is used to link independent clauses. Independent clauses are complete sentences that can stand alone as separate sentences. 2. When you use a semicolon to link independent clauses, it indicates a closer relationship between the two thoughts compared to using a period to separate them into two distinct sentences. 3. Example: "She finished her exam early; however, she decided to review her answers carefully before submitting it." By using a semicolon, the two independent clauses are connected in a way that shows they are related but distinct thoughts.
