A colon
A semicolon
A hyphen

Explicação:
 A compound sentence consists of two or more independent (main) clauses.  Because
the independent clauses in a compound sentence are grammatically equal structures,
they are joined by one of the coordinating conjunctions (and, but, yet, or, nor, so)  or by
a set of correlatives (either-or, neither-nor, not only-but also, both-and).

the-book negotiations. As the Chicago Manual of Style puts it, ¿Far and away the most common spelling
questions for writers and editors concern compound terms¿whether to spell as two words, hyphenate, or
close up as a single word.¿

Punctuation marks  are a set of symbols, and are an integral part of written language. There are speci�c
rules for the usage of each. Punctuation marks help put spoken words into writing.
Without punctuation writing becomes hard to read.
Punctuation is one of the most important aspects of both oral and written English, and yet it is one that is
taken the most lightly.
The purpose of punctuation is to help the reader understand you and to help you make your meaning clear.
According to The Penguin Guide to Punctuation, "The problem with poor punctuation is that it makes life
dif�cult for the reader who needs to read and understand what you've written."

5.
In the �rst sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive a car.
In the second sentence, the listener cannot drive a car because he does´t have a driving license.
Both sentences have the same meaning, it´s just a matter of punctuation and intonation.
They mean that the listener has not got a driving license.
In coordinating structures, punctuation is not given the same importance as it is in subordination.
What really matters is to know that the listener does not have the ability to drive a car.
The second sentence is what is called ´dangling construction´. Anyway, in both sentences , we get to
know that somebody is unable to drive a car.
In the �rst sentence, you would like the listener to be able to drive a car, but, for some reason, he
can't.
In the second sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive a car.
Which of the following punctuation marks is used TO INTRODUCE A LIST AND BEFORE A FINAL
CLAUSE THAT EXPLAINS SOMETHING IN THE SENTENCE?
In which alternative the sentence is correctly punctuated?
Explicação:
Punctuation makes the whole difference.
In the �rst sentence, you would like the listener to be able to drive a car, but, for some reason, he can't. In the second
sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive a car.
 
6.
A full stop
A comma
A colon
A period
A semicolon
Explicação:
" The colon is used to introduce a list of items.
The bookstore specializes in three subjects: art, architecture, and graphic design.
The colon is used to separate two independent clauses when the second explains or illustrates the �rst. In
such usage, the colon functions in much the same way as the semicolon. As with the semicolon, do not
capitalize the �rst word after the colon unless the word is ordinarily capitalized.
I have very little time to learn the language: my new job starts in �ve weeks. "

we do not use a comma to separate the subject from the rest of the sentence.

d) Dynamite was lavishly used and many of San Francisco's proudest structures were crumbled by
man himself into ruins, but there was no withstanding the onrush of the �ames.
Explicação:
" There are some general rules which you can apply when using the comma. However, you will �nd that in
English there are many other ways to use the comma to add to the meaning of a sentence or to emphasise
an item, point, or meaning.
Although we are often taught that commas are used to help us add 'breathing spaces' to sentences they
are, in fact, more accurately used to organise blocks of thought or logical groupings. Most people use
commas to ensure that meaning is clear and, despite grammatical rules, will drop a comma if their meaning
is retained without it."
