False. The correct answer is "If two independent clauses are connected by a semicolon, the dotted line goes straight from one verb to the other." (A+)

A semicolon is used to indicate a moderate pause in a sentence. It's primary purpose is to join together two independent clauses. For example: "I like to eat hotdogs; they go well with ketchup." Both clauses before and after the semicolon can function independently in their own separate sentences, and so a semicolon is appropriate to use to join them together in this case. A semicolon should not be used in place of or alongside conjunctions, such as "but, or, and" etc.
Well, according to what I learned when I was in Algebra I, you should never have to use a semicolon.
A semicolon would be the appropriate punctuation connecting two independent clauses IF there is no coordinating conjunction; However, if there IS a coordinating conjunction (and, but...) then you would only use a comma to separate both independent clauses
It is necessary to put the semicolon between Indianapolis and worse. Many writers would merely use a comma in this case, but that would be incorrect. Sorry, but I am sticking to my original opinion that you don't need a semicolon here. I agree that a comma wouldn't be appropriate, but a period would be advisable.
I can give you several sentences.You use a semicolon to separate two clauses.A semicolon is like a comma with a period on top of it.You need to learn how to use the semicolon properly.
NO
A gerund is a verb with the -ing suffix, often turning it from a verb into the subject of a sentence. It is grammatically correct to use one after a semicolon as long as the clause after the semicolon is still independent, that is, it can still stand alone as a separate sentence.
It would be appropriate to use a comma between compound subjects or compound verbs.
I wouldn't use a semicolon in a conditional (if) sentence. Semicolons can join two independent clauses without a conjunction. The "if" clause in a conditional sentence is dependent, not independent.
