Answer 1

Hi! It appears you have asked the same question twice. I will quote my answer to the same question you already posted:

"the only sentence which uses semicolon correctly is the first sentence, option A!

• A. Chris and Molly were delighted to see the whole family gathered in the living room; the group was waiting to congratulate the couple.

We use semicolons in sentences between two independent clauses instead of a transitioning or linking word (conjunctions). "

Hope this helps!
