Which change should Clair make to correct the punctuation in her sentence?

O 1. Insert a semicolon after the word "dark.

O 2. Delete the comma after the word "nevertheless."

O 3. Insert a semi-colon after the word "camp."

4. Delete the comma after the word "dinner."

The change Clair should make to correct the punctuation in her sentence is:

1. Insert a semicolon after the word "dark".

Explanation:

"Nevertheless" is a conjunctive adverb joining two independent clauses. When we use conjunctive adverbs, we must add a semicolon before them. That includes "however", "moreover", "therefore", and "consequently", for example. Thus, for Clair's punctuation to be correct, we should add the semicolon after "dark", right before "nevertheless".

The evening was hot and dark; nevertheless, the hungry hikers, eager to find their way back to camp for dinner, continued along the overgrown.
