Answer :

The sentence with correct punctuation to address the main issue is: The food trucks are good for students; they give many different lunch options instead of just one or two. Explanation: 1. The correct punctuation issue in the original sentence is the need for a semicolon or period to separate the two independent clauses: "The food trucks are good for students" and "they give many different lunch options instead of just one or two." 2. In the correct sentence, a semicolon is used to connect two related independent clauses without using a coordinating conjunction like "and" or "but." 3. Another correct option would be to use a period to create two separate sentences since each independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. 4. Using a comma before "because" as in the third option is incorrect because a comma alone cannot join two independent clauses. 5. The second option lacks punctuation to separate the independent clauses properly. 6. The fourth and fifth options use a semicolon correctly but have a minor issue with spacing at the end of the sentence. 7. The last option, while correct, simply uses a period to separate the clauses. In conclusion, the sentence "The food trucks are good for students; they give many different lunch options instead of just one or two." correctly addresses the main punctuation issue in the original sentence.
