noredink lq 16: clauses with colons & semi colons question 3 of 20 fix any punctuation or capitalization errors below. click \submit answer\ if there are none. claire dunphy enjoys lying around the house with a good book; saturday is her favorite day of the week, consequently.

Explanation:

To fix the punctuation, we need to use a semicolon or a period before "consequently" since it's a conjunctive adverb connecting two independent clauses. The correct sentence should be "Claire Dunphy enjoys lying around the house with a good book; Saturday is her favorite day of the week; consequently." or "Claire Dunphy enjoys lying around the house with a good book. Saturday is her favorite day of the week, consequently." But following the available punctuation options (using a semicolon before "consequently" as it's a conjunctive adverb joining two independent clauses), we adjust the second semicolon to before "consequently". So the corrected sentence is: Claire Dunphy enjoys lying around the house with a good book; Saturday is her favorite day of the week; consequently.

Answer:

Claire Dunphy enjoys lying around the house with a good book; Saturday is her favorite day of the week; consequently.
