Answer:

Semicolons, colons and hyphens are all used in a text to give structure and joint words together/bring connections. For example, when listing things off or giving an example, it's appropriate to use a colon. These all differ because they must be used in certain contexts and using the wrong symbol will often confuse the reader.
