insert a comma

insert an exclamation point
insert a semicolon
MY ANSWER
semicolon
Right.
Apologies for the confusion, but the correct answer is actually to insert a comma in the provided sentence.
To explain further, a comma is used to separate two independent clauses (complete thoughts) when they are joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as 'but', 'and', 'or', 'yet', 'so', etc.). In this case, the sentence includes two independent clauses: "I didn't know which movie I wanted to see" and "it was hard to decide."
Therefore, to correctly join these two clauses with a coordinating conjunction, a comma should be used:
"I didn't know which movie I wanted to see, it was hard to decide."
