Sentence correctness
Hi
I have a question on this text.
If one member fails to repay the loan, the entire group is unable to obtain credit in the future thus, group members have a strong incentive to succeed and support.
As for joining them, which of these is natural? Or, are both equally acceptable?
If one member fails to repay the loan, the entire group is unable to obtain credit in the future; thus, group members have a strong incentive to succeed and support.
If one member fails to repay the loan, the entire group is unable to obtain credit in the future, and, thus, group members have a strong incentive to succeed and support.
Please give your views.
