The correct use of a semicolon is C: Cheryl's favorite snack is chocolate; she could eat it daily. A semicolon is often used to separate two related independent clauses. You can test this by removing the semicolon and adding a period. Could the two clauses stand on their own as complete sentences? If so, a semicolon can be used.
