Which sentence has an error in semicolon usage? bryce was supposed to mow the lawn today; instead, he watched a video. martina likes to cook; she makes a great vegetable lasagna. raquel was tired; so she decided to go home. darnell had to finish his lab report; as a result, he decided not to go to the park.

The correct answer is C. Raquel was tired; so she decided to go home.

Explanation:

According to grammar rules, the semicolon is used to separate independent clauses without including conjunctions. Also, the semicolon is correct if the sentences are joined by a conjunctive adverb (however, instead, moreover, as a result, etc.)

This implies it is not correct to use a semicolon with a regular conjunction (and, but, or, so); therefore, the sentence "Raquel was tired; so she decided to go home" has an error in semicolon usage because there is a semicolon along with a conjunction. Instead, a comma should be used or the conjunction "so" should be omitted.

You can see how depressed that she feels when conveying this message and you can almost see what she is planning to do.    it makes you more aware of others who may be in need of when you least realize it.
