Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: Some anthropologists believe that the genetic homogeneity evident in

Hello Arpit @adikikani,

I will be glad to help you out with this one.


To begin with, this official sentence uses a dash and not a hyphen.

Now generally, both hyphens and semi-colons are used to connect two independent clauses.

However, in the correct answer choice of this official question, the hyphen is followed by a dependentclause.

Personally, I see this usage just as an exception to the rule, an atypical usage in a one-off case.


Hope this helps.
Thanks.
