Punctuations help end, pause, and emphasize certain sentence parts.

Commas separate phrases and clauses, a period ends a sentence, and a semicolon is used to join two logically connected independent clauses together, the dash is used to provide additional information that complements the main purpose of the sentence.

Due to the rainfall, Anurag missed his bus, thus; he was late for school on the first day.

The sentence is incorrect due to the use of a semicolon and the word "thus" together. When "thus" is used in this context, it generally connects two independent clauses and is typically preceded by a semicolon or followed by a period.

No change

Due to the rainfall, Anurag missed his bus-thus, he was late for school on the first day.

The sentence is incorrect due to the use of a hyphen after "bus." In this context, a hyphen is not the appropriate punctuation mark to connect the clauses. A hyphen is typically used to join words, not to connect independent clauses.

bus-thus,

Due to the rainfall, Anurag missed his bus. Thus, he was late for school on the first day.

The sentence is correct in terms of punctuation. It uses a period after the first sentence, indicating the end of that thought, and begins the second sentence with a capital letter. This is an appropriate way to separate and structure two distinct sentences.

bus. Thus,

Due to the rainfall, Anurag missed his bus thus; he was late for school on the first day.

The sentence is not correct due to the incorrect placement of the semicolon. In standard punctuation, a semicolon should come before the coordinating conjunction "thus" to properly connect two independent clauses.

bus thus;

Due to the rainfall, Anurag missed his bus. Thus, he was late for school on the first day.
