Option 1 is correct because it uses a semicolon to effectively combine two related independent clauses into a compound sentence, indicating a cause-and-effect relationship.

The correct way to combine the two sentences provided is by using a semicolon to join the two related independent clauses. This allows us to create a compound sentence that maintains the flow of ideas. The correct option is:

1. My sister is the captain of her college swim team; consequently, she spends a lot of time training and encouraging her teammates.
