Answer:

1.) Uniting two closely connected

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. Use a semicolon between two independent clauses that are connected by conjunctive adverbs or transitional phrases.
