Question

1. which sentence correctly uses a semicolon? the cake is delicious; its made with fresh strawberries. the cake is delicious; and its made with fresh strawberries. the cake is delicious its; made with fresh strawberries. the cake; is delicious its made with fresh strawberries.

Explanation:

A semicolon is used to join two closely - related independent clauses. In the first option, "The cake is delicious" and "it's made with fresh strawberries" are two independent clauses that are closely related. In the second option, using "and" after the semicolon is incorrect as a semicolon already functions to join independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction like "and". In the third and fourth options, the semicolon is placed in incorrect positions within the sentences, disrupting the grammar and meaning.

Answer:

The cake is delicious; it's made with fresh strawberries.
