Question

which is the best way to complete the text? eva experienced a whirlwind of emotions as she waited to hear back from her dream ____ excitement, fear, doubt, and hope. job; job: job,

Explanation:

A semicolon (;) is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. Here, "Eva experienced a whirlwind of emotions as she waited to hear back from her dream job" is one independent - clause, and "excitement, fear, doubt, and hope" is a list that elaborates on the emotions. A colon (:) can be used to introduce a list, but it is not appropriate here as the part after the blank is not a full independent - clause. A comma (,) would create a run - on sentence. So, a semicolon is the correct punctuation.

Answer:

job;
