Which of the followings sentences correctly uses punctuation to show a quick change between ideas?
"I love to go to the beach; however, I don't like to swim."
The correct sentence would be: "I was excited to go hiking; however, it started raining."
To identify which of the following sentences correctly uses punctuation to show a quick change between ideas, we need to analyze each sentence.
1. I love going to the beach; it is so relaxing.
This sentence uses a semicolon (;) to show a quick change between ideas. The first part states "I love going to the beach" while the second part "it is so relaxing" introduces a new idea related to the first part.
2. I love going to the beach, it is so relaxing.
This sentence uses a comma (,) instead of a semicolon. While a comma can be used to separate ideas, it does not indicate a quick change between them. In this case, the sentence lacks the clarity that a semicolon provides.
3. I love going to the beach it is so relaxing.
This sentence does not use any punctuation to show a change between ideas. Without punctuation, the two ideas may run together and confuse the reader regarding the intended meaning.
So, the sentence that correctly uses punctuation to show a quick change between ideas is sentence 1: "I love going to the beach; it is so relaxing."
