标题: OG 116+分号的用法~再次求指点~

116. Mauritius was a British colony for almost 200 years,

excepting for the domains of administration and

teaching, the English language was never really

spoken on the island.

(A) excepting for

(B) except in

(D) but excepting for

(E) with the exception of

A Th e lack of a conjunction causes a comma

splice; excepting for is non-idiomatic.

B Th e lack of a conjunction causes a comma

splice.

C Correct. Th e two independent clauses are

separated by but, and except in is an

appropriate idiom.

D Excepting for is non-idiomatic.

E Th e lack of a conjunction causes a comma

splice

Th e correct answer is C

什么叫做Th e lack of a conjunction causes a comma

splice？

另外，想知道分号的用法。看OG解释我的理解是分号后面的句子必须有完整的语法结构。那这样跟句号有什么区别呢？另外逗号后面貌似也是可以跟完整句子的吧？

we have to use a CONJUNCTION to link two sentence.

the example u cite above, two sentence, no conjunction(such as but, and)

before and after the semicolon:complete sentence.

Thx for sharing. However, "except" itself could act as a conj. Could you please explain why B is wrong? thx

第一分句和最后一分句是两个主谓宾全的句子，中间需要连词链接~
