Question

The kite, which was supposed to be easy to fly, crashed again and again, and everyone got hot, tired, and grumpy.
Which comma should be replaced with a semicolon to avoid confusion?
the comma after again
the comma after fly
the comma after kite
the comma after tired

Answer 1

The correct answer should be the comma after again

This should be correct because positioning a semi colon anywhere else would create a bit nonsensical and ungrammatical sentences.

Answer 2

Answer & Explanation:

The semicolon is used when connecting two sentences or independent clauses. Unlike the comma, you do not use coordinating conjunctions, e.g., and, or, but, etc. A semicolon can also be used when connecting two independent clauses with conjunctive adverbs, e.g., however, therefore, thus, otherwise, etc.
