Step-by-step explanation;

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought.

When used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank.

You cannot use a semicolon to list off objects, such as letter a and b.

You also can't use one in the middle of a sentence, like the third sentence.
