ILL GIVERead the sentence. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze they bought a pumpkin.

What is the best way to revise the sentence?

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Explanation:

Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.

1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.

2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.

Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.

3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.

4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.

A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)

Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))
