Question

A semicolon is used to...

Select one:

Connect two independent clauses with a clear relation to one another


All of these


Connect any two independent clauses in one sentence


Connect a dependent clause and an independent clause

Answer 1

Connect two independent clauses with a clear relation to one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use semicolons to connect two independent clauses that are related to the content of each clause.

We can not use a semicolon to connect a dependent clause and an independent clause. In this case, we have to use a comma.

If the two independent clauses are not related, we can not use a semicolon. We have to use a stop.
