## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the correct punctuation to use in sentence 5. The sentence is: "I wasn't scared just excited."<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The sentence is a compound sentence, meaning it has two independent clauses. The two clauses are "I wasn't scared" and "just excited."<br /><br />## Step 3<br />In English grammar, a semicolon is used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. In this case, the two clauses are closely related as they both describe the speaker's feelings.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Therefore, the correct punctuation to use in this sentence is a semicolon.
