Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
a.) customer service must be a priority of all employees ignoring our customer needs will surely put us out of business.
b) customer service must be a priority of all employees, ignoring our customer needs will surely put us out of business.
c) customer service must be a priority of all employees; ignoring our customer needs will surely put us out of business.

Hello!

Option C is punctuated correctly.

The answer is not A, because the sentence contains no punctuation, therefore making it a run-on.

The answer also is not B, because a comma does not connect the sentence. The sections "Customer service must be a priority of all employees" and "ignoring our customer needs will surely put us out of business" are independent thoughts that cannot be connected only with a comma.

C is the correct answer because a semicolon connects two independent thoughts and shows how they are related without making the second section seem irrelevant.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
