Soon after, peace talks broke down and the war resumed, however, American troops did not return.

resumed, however, American
resumed, however; American
resumed; however, American
resumed: however, American

Explanation

Answer: C - The best choice is “resumed; however, American”

The initial sentence improperly uses two commas to enclose the conjunctive adverb “however.” A colon is not appropriate punctuation to use in this sentence. When using conjunctive adverbs such as “however” in a sentence, they should be preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma.
